Pop provocateur UPSAHL releases her new single and accompanying music video titled “Tears on the dancefloor,” out now via Arista Records – listen HERE and watch HERE. The new single comes ahead of her 40+ date international 2024“Melt me down” headline tour kicking off next month. Tickets are on-sale now HERE.
“Tears on the dancefloor” is the latest offering in UPSAHL’s new era as she continues to demonstrate her sonically elevated new sound. An instantaneous earworm, the track is a nod to her love of Timbaland-era Nelly Furtado with sultry, husky vocal tones effortlessly flipping elastic in higher registers. UPSAHL captures the moment when you realize you’re finally over it, free from heartbreak, and finally feeling like yourself again. Riding high off the success of Deadpool and Wolverine and the revival of Wesley Snipes’ iconic titular character, the music video for the track is an homage to the opening scene from the 1998 film Blade, set on a body-to-body dancefloor with an all-consuming sound teeming with energy.
On the track, UPSAHL shares: “Tears on the dancefloor” is about feeling mysterious, while vulnerable and emotional at the same time. It was inspired by those nights out that sometimes end in tears – to be honest, that shit feels like free therapy. When we made this song, we had been listening to a lot of Nelly Furtado, so the production was heavily inspired by Timbaland and the overall vibe of the early 2000s. These are my favorite types of songs, the ones that are secretly kind of sad, but can still be played at the afterparty.”
Earlier this summer, UPSAHL released her sexy summer anthem “Summer so hot.” Destined to be played on a speaker out by the pool in warm weather, the track showcases her breezy vocals, impressive breath work with packed lyrical verses, and an electro-infused bassline keeping the beat. The music video, alternating between a poolside dance party and a sensual video shoot in the cool confines of the house, perfectly encapsulates what a typical summer hang looks like in the throes of soaring temps. The song is currently being played on SiriusXM’s Hits 1 and has made a huge impact across the country. LISTEN HERE & WATCH HERE.

The “Melt me down” tour will see UPSAHL playing her largest venues to date, performing for her legion of fans across the globe. The 40+ city trek will kick off in San Diego and make stops in Los Angeles, Phoenix (her hometown), Austin, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, and more before concluding in Paris. She recently wrapped her supporting act for Madison Beer’s “The Spinnin’ Tour” and a European run of headlining shows and festival sets including FM4 Frequency 2024 in Austria and Smukfest 2024 in Denmark. FULL ROUTING HERE.
UPSAHL’s enigmatic and endearing style has proven her valuable worth with critically acclaimed debut album Lady Jesus, Sagittarius EP, and her most recent, 2023 The PHX Tapes. Previously opening for Tove Lo, Yungblud and Melanie Martinez, she is every artist’s favorite artist and she’s no stranger to touring life. Her shows are electric, empowering, and full of energy, perfectly showcasing the “top-tier pop music chameleon” that she is. Her sets also show off her musicality – with her impressive display of guitar chops and wide-ranging vocals (mentions of her recent openings for Madison Beer in Tampa Bay and Houston are glowingly positive).
