Kiesza Needs to Stop Teasing and Give Us the Album Already

Two weeks is too long. Two more weeks until Kiesza’s latest album drops. In preperation for the release, the Canadian singer-songwriter has released a new track “The Love.”

“Michael Jackson was a huge influence in my house,” Kiesza said in a VEVO Lift interview. “Robyn, CeCe Pennisonton, Etta James — anybody with a big voice…These people just seemed impossible to reach. How could I ever have a voice like that? I just loved listening to their music.”

We love listening to yours!  October 21st can’t come soon enough
