New Music: Kiesza (feat. Joey Badass) - "Bad Thing"

kiesza bad thing

Pre-order Kiesza's “Sound of a Woman” album and get this new song “Bad Thing” for free. It’s the Canadian singer’s first collaboration with rapper Joey Badass that appears as the sixth track on the tracklisting of her debut album which is arriving in stores everywhere on October 21st via Island Records.

Kiesza’s well-known for her deep-house sound ("Hideaway”, “Giant in My Heart”). I mean, it’s the only sound we know from her as all of the songs she’s released thus far are of that genre. So imagine my surprise when I started listening to the Joey Badass-assisted album track “Bad Thing” and all I could hear was R&B.

Very different, huh? It just feels strange listening Kiesza in a non-house song. “Bad Thing” is nice, Kiesza certainly delivers beautiful vocals, but I don't think it can be placed in the category of "the best Kiesza songs”. I guess I don’t love it that much because it’s not deep-house music and I feel this is the genre where Kiesza feels more comfortable and her talent and spark really comes to shining. It's going to take a bit of time for me adapt to the idea of hearing Kiesza in other genres. And it seems “Sound of a Woman” will be a mix of deep-house and R&B songs.

In “Bad Thing”, Kiesza inwardly debates whether an action she's doing is wrong or not.
