ACRAZE, who claimed the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top New Dance/Electronic Artists 2022 year-end chart, beckons fans to the dancefloor with the darkly atmospheric banger “Take Me Away.” The vocal sample and title are taken from the indelible hook of Natasha Bedingfield’s 2008 2x Platinum hit “Pocketful Of Sunshine,” which topped Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart and entered the top 5 of the Hot 100. Listen to “Take Me Away,” which was released today by Thrive Music/Capitol Records, HERE.
“I grew up listening to Natasha Bedingfield, so I was super excited to get her approval on this song,” says ACRAZE. “I started working on the track about two years ago, but got the inspiration to finish it last year, before my Paris show with DJ Snake at Parc de Princes. When I played it for the first time, the crowd went absolutely nuts, and I knew right away that I had to release it.”
Tickets are on sale HERE for ACRAZE’s March 10 show at the historic Hollywood Palladium. Promoted by Insomniac, the date will mark the acclaimed DJ/producer’s biggest headline show in Los Angeles since the release of his breakthrough hit “Do It To It” (ft. Cherish) in 2021. Norwegian producer/DJ act KREAM will open. ACRAZE will also perform at Breakaway Carolina and ILLENIUM’s Memorial Day weekend celebration at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington state. His international dates include performances in Spain, the Bahamas and South Korea. See below for itinerary.
“Take Me Away” comes on the heels of the Galantis remix of ACRAZE’s “Believe” feat. Goodboys. Describing it as “pure perfection,” The Honey Pop said, “We have found the song that is going to be the soundtrack to many incredible nights out in 2023…” EDMTunes observed, “The [remix] perfectly showcases Galantis’ signature percussion prowess and melodic synth work, while at the same time staying in lockstep with the original spirit of ACRAZE’s mix — accentuating the song’s message of hope.” YourEDM noted, “The energy is turned up to 10 and the vocals from Goodboys shine even brighter with the poppy synths and bouncy rhythm.”
ACRAZE earned his first Gold single with “Do It To It.” The song, which has amassed over 12 billion combined streams worldwide, entered the Top 20 at Top 40 radio and won the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Award for Dance Song of the Year in the U.S. It was tapped by Pepsi Wild Cherry for a major advertising campaign and Fortnite has released a new Emote using the track. The Do It To It tour took him to 19 countries and included marquee billings at festivals such as Ultra, Tomorrowland and Sensation. ACRAZE, who has gained the support of Tiësto, Diplo, DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Chris Lake, Zedd, Martin Garrix and numerous other artists, recently remixed Sam Smith’s GRAMMY®-winning No. 1 hit “Unholy” Ft. Kim Petras.
