Today, critically acclaimed genre bending duo POWERS—Mike Del Rio and Crista Ru—share their brand new single “Heavy.” It’s the first of many tracks leading up to the arrival of their highly anticipated full-length debut album, Alpha.
“Heavy’ alternates between energetic nineties-style guitars and vocals Crista Ru and quickly builds into a dancefloor call-to-arms that’s impossible to shake. The single follows last year’s “Sunshine,” which racked up over 12 million Spotify streams and counting, received tons of online praise and received the remix treatment from The Knocks.
Playlists are in! Pick your platform of choice (Soundcloud, Rdio and Spotify) and get listening to what rocked the blogs last month (featuring Beck, Day Wave, Darwin Deez, Wolf Alice and many more).
