Deleted User liked a post in a topic by Pretend in Kiesza
Kiesza is a Canadian singer from Calgary who has most recently worked out of New York City and London.
When she was 16 she took part in the Sail and Lifetime Training Society (SALTS) program and a year later she joined the Royal Canadian Navy along with her brother, with which she became a code breaker. Whilst at that, she also entered the Miss Universe Canada pageant. She attributes her time in the Navy as a reason why, in 2008, she gave away 4,500 CDs to Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan.
Kiesza took part in the Young Canadians, performing tap and jazz dancing, as well as theatre. When Kiesza was 18, she says that her parents' divorce caused her to write her first song, as a way of expressing her feelings. The same year, she heard a song of hers played on the radio.
In February 2014 Kiesza released the video for her new single Hideaway through the indie label "Lokal Legend". Idolator considered it unique, for having a single take through the entire video, as Kiesza walked through the streets of Brooklyn. John Gentile of Rolling Stone called the style "impressive". Kiesza reported to Rolling Stone that she had trouble making the video, partly because she broke a rib just before filming, and "couldn't move for an entire month afterward." The song was released in the UK in April, and debuted at the top of the charts. Giant In My Heart followed, and also reached the top 5. Her debut major label album, Sound of a Woman, will be released October 21st in the US, and November 17th in the UK.

If you ever get remotely famous I will remember the time you made an account on this site and posted such a long post haha.
It's actually very genuine of you to write this way on a fairly small/irrelevant music forum. Good for you for not being too good to reply to people and communicate with fans. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the love you guys! It means so much to artists to feel understood on any level or even a little appreciated.
Excited about this new era of music.
Fun Facts: I write my songs and sometimes I even have input on the actual production. I also wrote my own video treatment for this video. My friend made the horns headpiece for me. I created the story & storyboards. I think what you mean when you compare me to other artists is those are the ones you can think of that would take the risks I took in not making a twerkathon or typical pop with some 5,6,7,8. I'm guessing the wigs and my brown skin did me in.
If you really look at it, it's not like either of them.
I love comparisons, it helps people accept you and finally see you (eventually). Initially people compared Gaga to Christina (which now is so absurd). The suggestion that I'm not being myself is what didn't sit with me. I'm so thoroughly myself, that because I don't fall in line with general expectations of what certain kinds of women should be doing, I guess it's "annoying" to a certain kind of audience. I spent 2 months planning, paid for everything and shot with a great dedicated team for 12 hours....yeah I guess I am doing "overdoing it".
Nonetheless I'm really grateful for anyone who takes the time to watch, listen, share or care at all...even if it's not your cup of tea.
I guess the reason I'm responding is to say I have been writing since I was a kid....and releasing my own music since 2011.
As for the hair, I actually worked with Azaleas hairstylist 3 years ago - and she actually asked me about the grey hair (which I used to color myself). Exact words: "Ok this hair, let's discuss." So I knew that was gonna happen .
Not that any of that matters.
A lot of up and coming artists are mined for ideas by the majors' teams/associates. Kinda the way Maluca Mala did the cans in hair look that Gaga sported AFTER the fact.
That's just the game, and all we can do is keep going.
Ultimately there's room for everyone and I fully respect anyone who tries to tackle this crazy business, ESPECIALLY women like Azalea and Gaga.
I could've just shot a video with me in a desert like space making sex-faces, or just dressed in something really tight and hit some choreo for the kids - but I wanted to use my brain and life experience - to challenge myself, because I was bored with the ideas of not going for my true vision for this song. Maybe down the line I'll be too exhausted to think, and I'll give a semi-status quo visual but on some level still I'll over do it or it'll be so understated people will hate it for that. Lol
I'm 98.9% sure I won't come back to check this because I made a pact with myself not to. lol
Again, thank you. Seriously. <3
xoxo

The HOH lyric video uses different vocals, and the Shaking Heads pre-order version is longer than the one on iTunes at the moment.

New press photos (click for UHQ):
Also, the radio edit of HOH is basically what we have, except the intro's shortened and the extra "but I need you tonight" in the first verse is also removed.
