Italian electronic trio MEDUZA announce the release of new single ‘Another World’ with heralded artist HAYLA.
The powerhouse collaboration between MEDUZA, and ascendant, fellow GRAMMY nominated, songwriter and vocalist HAYLA promises to be an existential culmination of electronic and vocal sound. ‘Another World’ is seen as a homage to the ethereal but also visceral emotions that music can draw out.
The initial phase of the vocal drifts and harmonises with the beat cutting through, driving the pace of the record before HAYLA’s powerful voice calls out to the listener. The plucky synths call back to the euphoria of records forged in the seminal years of dance music, alongside the atmospheric sonic trademark of MEDUZA, the ‘bell sound’, heightening the senses before HAYLA’s cinematic vocals and the beat drive as one to ensnare all senses to connect to ‘Another World’.

The Italian trio have enjoyed collaborations with the absolute spearhead of vocal artists in British dance music including Poppy Baskcomb, Becky Hill and Clementine Douglas culminating in over a billion streams across the respective records. ‘Another World’ seeks to grow upon these numbers in spades with increasingly emergent HAYLA providing the grandiosity required to elevate the signature MEDUZA atmospheric soundscape, with her undeniable talents as a songwriter and vocalist that have propelled her to global recognition and hundreds of millions of streams to her name for her own productions and collaborations with the likes of Sub Focus, Kygo, John Summit and Kx5 just to name a few.
On the track, MEDUZA said “We wanted to make ‘Another World’ to take people on a journey, both musically but also as if they could close their eyes and dream of something and have this record in their mind to soundtrack that journey into what they imagine. Collaborating with HAYLA is something unique and special— we were really taken aback by the power in her voice but also the emotion which shines through from the very first time she sings the chorus. When we play the track in front of an audience this only elevates this experience as they quickly know the words and have their hands up and eyes closed whilst singing along.”
HAYLA adds: “Working with Meduza has been incredible. Their production around the melody and lyrical content elevates the track into a mystic melodic piece that has anthemic routes pulling the listener into their world. I wanted to create a track that everyone could find themselves in and their own story and sing it at the top of their lungs. This song is for everybody. Now it’s yours.”
MEDUZA have led the charge in returning house music to daytime radio across the globe with great success. In the space of the two years from 2019 they had become the biggest global streaming Italian artist in the history of music on both Spotify and Apple Music in Italy, a quite staggering achievement. Since 2019, the year where they released their debut record ‘Piece of Your Heart’, the trio are rapidly approach 20 billion cumulative streams across all releases, with multiple official chart top 10 hits across Europe, #1 Dance hits in the US, Multi diamond, platinum and gold certifications across the globe and even a GRAMMY nomination to boot, with no signs of slowing down.
