New York-based artist PETRA has recently released her new single Dancing Without You, and it is a lavish pop track. I adore the upbeat instrumentation with full band essence which creates a wonderful soundscape. Moreover, the catchy guitar riffs sound innovative and showcase artistic vision. Furthermore, the lyrics are very meaningful; the song was written after PETRA’s father’s passing. Writing this song gave PETRA the energy she needed to dance again, all the way towards a brighter future.

A powerful music video was also made for Dancing Without You which is inspired by a night at the discotheque; a scene PETRA’s father was heavily immersed in when he lived in Germany as a teenager. The video follows PETRA as she goes through the night to find solace in being alone and to learn that, though she may feel alone, she never truly is; her loved ones are always near and dear. The video’s main party scenes feature a cast of primarily POC and LGBTQ actors and actresses; PETRA’s purpose for her casting was to streamline the representation of her community and break free from typical social norms.

* The music video is directed by Carlos Vasquez and choreographed by Brittany Goodwin.

PETRA has made a wonderful piece of music. Dancing Without You is a track that reaches your soul, so be sure to stream/watch it as soon as possible!
