Dance music's new golden boy, Norwegian producer Kygo, has previewed a new song on his Facebook. "Firestone," featuring 300-signed Australian singer Conrad, will be released according to Dancing Astronaut on December 2 exclusively via Spotify. The preview is included in a recap video for the last leg of his "Endless Summer" tour with sold out shows in New York City and Los Angeles, while having him discuss the making of the track, how his time on tour was and what he has coming up.
He is prompted about why people like his music so much and he astutely points out, "In the electronic scene, everything has started to sound the same over the past two years. So maybe people are looking for something new."
To date Kygo has been primarily known as a remixer, starting with unofficial remixes for the likes of Marvin Gaye and Ed Sheeran that gained the support of those artists and then moving to official ones, but the music community has not seen his ability to produce originals since the piano house track "Epsilon" via Ensis Records. Beyond the unofficial remixes he was hand picked by Chris Martin to remix Coldplay's "Midnight". Now he is showing he can create an idea with scratch.
Recently signed to Sony Records according to Billboard, Kygo is set to get his tropical style of house out to the world with some originals. "Firestone" has all of the hallmarks of a Kygo tune with its simple, catchy and irresistible melody with a laidback vibe. Look for "Firestone" to heat things up when it comes available for streaming on Spotify on December 2.
