With his new single “Hot Honey,” Tiësto proves that even in the realm of electronic dance music there is room for a little southern comfort.
He's joined forces with country artist Alana Springsteen, who is signed to Columbia Records/Sony Music Nashville, to infuse their anthemic sound with a touch of twang. “Hot Honey” emerges as a genre-defying creation, its pulsating rhythms intertwined with Springsteen's dulcet tones, exploring the intoxicating allure of a love that's as fleeting as it is intense.
Springsteen’s lyrics drip with desire and disappointment at once, his words dripping with the sweet yet stinging “hot honey” that gives the album its title. Meanwhile, Tiësto’s propulsive production intertwines with his emotional narrative, much like the tempestuous push and pull of the relationship it describes.
All said and done, “Hot Honey” is a bold step for Tiësto, who continues to prove that even dance music veterans can find new ways to surprise and innovate.
“I've always been drawn to the fun/party side and authenticity of country music, so when I had the opportunity to team up with Alana Springsteen to make a danceable country song, I was super excited,” Tiësto said in a statement shared with EDM.com“Alana has an incredible voice, which is precisely the texture this song needed, and I respect her abilities as a songwriter as well as her artistry. This is a different sound for me, but as you know, I like to explore and get inspired by all different genres when making dance music. I hope you enjoy this song as much as we did creating it.”
“How often do you get the chance to collaborate with one of the most iconic DJs of all time?” Springsteen added. “When Tiësto reached out to me to see if I wanted to work with him on 'Hot Honey,' I saw it as a very exciting opportunity. I've always loved exploring sound and being able to do that with dance music while staying true to my country roots. That's what excites me about being an artist and songwriter.”
