Listen to 'One Night Stand,' Latest Power Piece from Singer-Songwriter Dani Kristina
Award-winning singer-songwriter Dani Kristina continues to showcase the range of her artistry with her latest track "One Night Stand," an emotional ballad with both intimacy and gravitas.
"It's about a risky romantic experience that was cut short by borders closing, which reflects on how things may have progressed if things were different," Dani explains in a statement. "It examines many 'what ifs' but as much as the song remains hopeful, it's actually telling a sad story of someone who really falls for another person, but never gets to explore it fully."
Dani Kristina co-wrote "One Night Stand" with her friend and guitarist Andrew Sporcic. The song was produced by Grammy-nominated, Juno-winning Trevor James Anderson at Noble Street Studios in Toronto, Canada. The collaboration resulted in a personal ballad piece that carefully combines elements of strings with synths and drums, and topped with Dani's expressive vocals. In the song, the young artist plays with the track's dynamics to build tension and release it at just the right spot in her storytelling.
The release of "One Night Stand" was accompanied by a music video featuring Dani Kristina in an almost conversational performance. Alone in a pristine-looking house, she delivers parts of the song in different areas in the building - creating a feel that emphasizes the longing and the regret that "One Night Stand" so vividly describes. As an all-around artist, Dani Kristina self-directed and even edited the video.
"One Night Stand" follows the more upbeat "Gambler," released last June 7. Her earlier release has garnered more than 12,000 streams from different platforms. The song, which talks about the risks of entering a relationship, has already made its way to CBC and UK Radio Wigham. Both "Gambler" and "One Night Stand," according to Dani's team, are parts of a larger story that remains to be told in full.
