Tiësto boldly expands his musical horizons with his latest release, "Hot Honey," a fiery collaboration with the burgeoning talent, Alana Springsteen. The video for this country-infused dance anthem, premiering exclusively on Variety, showcases the Dutch DJ and the talented singer-songwriter engaging in a playful dance with flames. Springsteen's vocals resonate with the story of a relationship she can't seem to shake off, as she lies atop a bed suspended over a fiery circle, the aftermath of a rainstorm leaving the ground smoldering with embers of unrequited passion.
"I've always been drawn to the exhilarating blend of fun and authenticity that country music embodies," Tiësto enthused in a statement. "Collaborating with Alana Springsteen to create a country-dance fusion was an absolute thrill! Her voice is nothing short of remarkable, lending the perfect texture to this track. I admire her songwriting prowess and artistic vision, and this venture into a new sonic realm was a natural progression for me. My love for exploring diverse genres fuels my dance music creations, and I sincerely hope you enjoy 'Hot Honey' as much as we enjoyed crafting it."
Springsteen, equally ecstatic about the collaboration, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity. "The chance to work with one of the most legendary DJs of our time is a rarity indeed," she exclaimed. "When Tiësto approached me about collaborating on 'Hot Honey,' it felt like a dream come true. Staying true to my country roots while venturing into dance music territory is what keeps me excited as an artist and songwriter. I'm deeply honored that Tiësto entrusted me with this song, and I can't wait to bring its energy to life on stage during one of his epic performances!"
As "Hot Honey" whets the appetite for Tiësto's Prismatic performances this fall, he's gearing up for two monumental four-hour DJ sets, one at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY, on October 25, and another at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on November 15. These performances promise to be a "sonic odyssey traversing the eras of his illustrious career." Beyond these spectacles, Tiësto's calendar is packed with festival appearances and Las Vegas residencies, ensuring a non-stop dance party throughout the year.
Meanwhile, Springsteen is embarking on her own tour, crisscrossing the nation before culminating in a triumphant homecoming show at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium on November 21. Her debut album, "Twenty Something," released in August 2023, and its subsequent deluxe edition in October, have only further solidified her place in the music scene.
