More than a decade after their explosive rise in the early 2010s, Krewella have returned with a track that proves they’re still unafraid to evolve, challenge expectations and leave a few rules shattered.
The duo, who first emerged out of Chicago with a blistering mix of electro house and dubstep, now step into entirely new territory with “Crying On The Dancefloor.” It’s their first new original music since 2022’s The Body Never Lies album, drawing from melodic techno to shape a sound that’s just as emotionally raw as it is rhythmically arresting.
Released on June 9th, marking the anniversary of the day the sisters walked away from conventional careers to pursue music full-time, the track introduces a visceral new chapter in their journey. They have traded the aggressive distortion of their early days for something more restrained yet deeply affecting.
The track opens with delicate vocal layers as Krewella’s voices rise and intertwine to unfurl stories of loss and longing. Thematically, they explore mourning and momentum as a cavernous kick drum anchors the arrangement while wafting synth textures ebb and flow. This is not simply the duo working within the melodic techno framework, but them bending it to their will and infusing it with theatrical intensity and vulnerability to make it wholly their own.
