Kaleena Zanders shared her thoughts on the single:
“When I penned the lyrics for Daddy Keeps Calling with the talented Bright Lights, we envisioned a unique angle on dancefloor-driven songs. In our minds, the dance floor symbolizes the core of our creativity and the magnetic space where people unite. For this track, ‘Daddy’ represents the dancefloor, the central force that connects us all.
Initially, this song went through various sonic iterations, evolving over a couple of years with my dear friend Prince Fox. We ultimately embraced a gospel-inflected, uplifting sound, embodying the notion that the dance floor is a liberating space for all. Once we settled on this concept, I instinctively knew Tchami’s cathedral-like arrangements were key to elevating the track, resulting in a nostalgic yet innovative collaboration.
Kaleena Zanders’ powerful voice and vibrant persona have made significant waves in the dance music community. A versatile vocalist, DJ, and songwriter, she enchants audiences with her addictive stage presence and gospel-inspired sound, reminiscent of iconic 90s house artists like CeCe Peniston, Robin S, and Whitney Houston.
With an impressive background as a featured vocalist for renowned dance artists like Chris Lake, AC Slater, and Loud Luxury, Kaleena Zanders has established herself as a top house vocalist, boasting over 500 million streams globally and widespread radio support.
Kaleena’s previous collaboration, ‘Carry Us’ with LP Giobbi, earned accolades as one of Billboard’s 40 Best Dance Songs of 2021 and captured spots on Forbes’ top songs list. It has garnered continuous airplay by influential DJs on BBC RADIO 1 and Sirius XM.
Moreover, Kaleena has delivered impactful tracks on leading electronic music labels such as Spinnin’, Armada, and Anjunabeats, and has signed with Helix Records for her Billboard-charting single, ‘V I B R A T I O N’ alongside hitmaker Shift K3Y. Driven by her mission to amplify representation for black, queer women, Kaleena aims to create an inclusive space in the dance music scene for those whose voices often go unheard.
