VASSY, the undisputed Dance Music Queen, is swerving off the EDM autobahn and taking the scenic route with her boldest pivot yet: “HAZY,” a sultry, jazz-touched, bossa-tinged minimal house track that feels like sipping negronis at golden hour in a Saint Germain loft. Out June 27 via French fashion-house-meets-house-label LESIXTYNINE MUSIQUE, this new chapter reveals a stripped-down, emotionally nuanced side of the global hitmaker who gave us “Bad” (with David Guetta) and “Secrets” (with Tiësto).
Forget the drops and the anthemic builds. “HAZY” is about feel. Produced by UK tastemaker Colin Emmanuel (Estelle, De La Soul, Blu Cantrell), it’s equal parts warm melancholy and midnight sophistication — all swathed in soft synths, brushed percussion, and a groove so smooth you’ll want to play it on loop until sunrise.
“HAZY shows a whole new side of me, from the festival sounds I am known for — more soulful, jazzy, and emotionally driven. It leans into minimal vocals with bossa textures and electronic flourishes. I finally feel heard and supported, working with a team that truly gets me.” — VASSY
And honestly, we’re hearing her loud and clear.
This isn’t just a sonic experiment — it’s a full-circle moment. After racking up over 3 billion streams, 20× Platinum certifications, 8 Billboard Dance #1s, and making history as the first woman (and first Aussie) to win the EDMA Icon Award, VASSY could’ve easily stuck to the EDM formula. Instead, she’s chosen artistic reinvention — and it’s chic as hell.
Named #9 on Rolling Stone AU/NZ’s “50 Greatest Australian Electronic Acts of All Time” in their latest issue, VASSY is more than just a streaming giant — she’s an era-defining voice. And now, with “HAZY,” she’s giving us something deeper: a sound rooted in her Greek-Australian heritage, her love for classic soul, and a desire to make music that breathes.
“This track isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. After years of massive dance hits, I wanted to show the raw, refined layers of my artistry. ‘HAZY’ reflects who I am today: evolved, expressive, and unafraid to be vulnerable.” — VASSY
Released on the impossibly cool LESIXTYNINE MUSIQUE — a label known for its sun-drenched, disco-laced curation and fashion-forward ethos — “HAZY” fits like a silk glove. There’s a clear nod to Sade’s “No Ordinary Love,” but with a breezy electronic undercurrent that nods to the likes of Fred again.. or Peggy Gou if they were vibing in Rio.
“Coming off career milestones like the EDMA Icon Award and 2 billion streams on ‘Bad,’ I wanted to celebrate my roots and future with something that
Backed by an all-female creative team and what she calls “the most aligned A&R partnership” of her career, VASSY is moving with intention, not just energy. This isn’t EDM VASSY, this is elevated VASSY — sipping espresso in vintage YSL while the world catches up.
“HAZY” is not a detour. It’s the destination. And we’re more than happy to get lost in it.
