MVMUSIC \/ BELIEVE AUSSIE ARTIST(S)<\/span><\/p> It drops Feb. 27 \u2014 and if early buzz is any indication, it\u2019s about to light up clubs.<\/p>\n VASSY<\/a> will take the stage at The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles on Friday, Feb. 27<\/a> \u2014 and if you\u2019ve never seen her live, consider this your sign.<\/p>\n I caught her at her last show, and it was something else. Her voice? Impeccable. No smoke and mirrors \u2014 just pure control, power, and tone. And her command of the room was just as sharp.<\/p>\n At one point, she had to quiet the crowd down more than once because the energy was almost too loud. Somehow, she turned that chaos into intimacy.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t just a performance. It was control. It was a connection. It was confidence. With \u201cOn Me\u201d (possibly) entering the setlist, expect groove, presence, and that disco-diva energy she\u2019s leaning into right now.<\/p>\n You\u2019re bringing disco back with \u201cOn Me\u201d \u2014 what sparked this era?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOn Me\u201d was really inspired by that unapologetic, feel-good disco energy \u2014 the kind of music that makes you strut, not just dance. I\u2019ve always loved groove-driven records\u2026 basslines that move your hips before your brain even catches up. Disco has that confidence built into it. It\u2019s bold, feminine, powerful \u2014 and honestly, I felt like we needed that vibe again. Lyrically, it\u2019s about owning your power. Taking control. Saying, \u201cIf this energy is shifting\u2026 It\u2019s on me.\u201d It\u2019s playful but strong. And I love that combination. Dance music should make you feel elevated \u2014 like the best version of yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n Was there any hesitation stepping into a new sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s always a tiny moment of \u201cOkay\u2026 here we go,\u201d because people get used to a certain version of you. But as an artist, I have to evolve. If I stay safe, I get bored. And if I\u2019m bored, the music won\u2019t feel honest. I\u2019ve done big EDM anthems, emotional dance records, acoustic versions\u2026 so stepping into a disco-influenced sound didn\u2019t feel like a risk \u2014 it felt like growth. The fans who\u2019ve been with me know I follow my instinct. And instinct has never failed me.<\/em><\/p>\n Do you worry about the reaction \u2014 or is that part of the thrill?<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s the exciting part. If you\u2019re not feeling a little adrenaline before a release, something\u2019s wrong. I think the magic happens in that space between vulnerability and confidence. You put something out into the world and say, \u201cThis is where I\u2019m at right now.\u201d Of course, you care \u2014 but you can\u2019t create from fear. I\u2019ve learned that reactions come and go, but authenticity lasts. I\u2019d rather polarize than play it safe. And honestly? Disco on a dance floor hits differently. Once that groove drops, nobody\u2019s overthinking \u2014 they\u2019re moving. And that\u2019s the whole point.<\/em><\/p>\n Your latest work feels like a musical time machine \u2014 futuristic EDM with roots in Bossa Nova and jazz. If you had to describe your soul sound in three non-musical words or images, what would they be?<\/strong><\/p>\n Salt in the air. Late-night voice notes. Bare feet on cold tiles. That\u2019s my soul sound \u2014 emotional, nostalgic, but still dancing.<\/em><\/p>\n During your break, was there a specific moment that pulled you back into music? Something oddly specific?<\/strong><\/p>\n I caught myself humming a melody\u2026 to my dog. And when I realized I was emotionally invested in how he reacted, I thought, okay, this is getting ridiculous \u2014 I need to write.<\/em><\/p>\n I watched you gently rein the crowd back in last month \u2014 you quieted them down more than once. If you wrote a crowd etiquette manual, what\u2019s Rule #1?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hahah, yes, you got to witness that! I tried to be gracious about it. I would say Rule #1: Listen with intention. Energy is amazing, but presence is everything. Sometimes the quiet is where the magic lives \u2014 and if we\u2019re all actually listening, the moment hits harder.<\/em><\/p>\nCatch Her Live: Peppermint Club, Los Angeles<\/h3>\n
