May 28, 2020—“Dance Alone,” the new single from breakout artist Tayla Parx debuts today on TaylaMade/Atlantic Records; listen/share it here: https://TaylaParx.lnk.to/DanceAlonePR. “‘Dance Alone’ is about that deep desire to connect with someone in order to cope. We all have that special someone who makes us feel things where we literally ache for them or feel for them. It’s about human connection, which we all desperately need right now, and how we realize we are not alone,” says Parx.
The track was co-written by Parx, Grammy Award-winner Kameron Glasper (Babyface, Tyrese) and Lara Andersson, and was produced by Jeff Gitty Gitelman (H.E.R., J. Cole, Mac Miller) and Oscar Görres (The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX) at Parx’s own Grey Noise Studios in New York City. More music from Parx to come soon, as she is set to release a new album, Coping Mechanisms, later this year.
Additionally, Parx continues her popular at-home virtual performance series, “Couched,” giving fans a front row seat to her vibrant living room sets. Watch the six-episode series, which includes performances of her hit singles “Dirt,” “Homiesexual,” “Rebound” and more, here: https://bit.ly/2B1fKyU
Last year, Parx released her debut album, We Need To Talk, via Atlantic Records to widespread critical praise—The New York Times proclaimed, “The new album, like Parx’s best hits, is playful and conversational, blending pop, R&B and traces of rap with plenty of Grande-esque high notes,” while Rolling Stone called it “a solid pop manifesto from a child-star-turned-pop-savant.” Variety added, “Fans finally got a glimpse of the preternaturally seasoned songwriter.”
Taylor Parks, known by her stage name Tayla Parx, was born and raised in Dallas, TX where she trained with legendary choreographer Debbie Allen who encouraged her to pursue acting and singing. After moving to Los Angeles, she began to hone in on her musical talents and released her 2017 mixtape, TaylaMade, which has garnered over 25 million streams. When Parx released We Need To Talk she was the first female songwriter to have three simultaneous top 10 songs—Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” and “thank u, next” and Panic! At The Disco’s “High Hopes”—in the Billboard Hot 100 since 2014 while also winning Billboard’s “2019 Hitmaker Award.”
Parx was previously Grammy-nominated through her work on Grande’s Thank U, Next, “7 Rings” and “My Everything,” Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer, Christina Aguilera’s “Like I Do” featuring GoldLink, The Internet’s “Ego Death” and Hairspray. In 2019, Parx also performed as a special guest on Lizzo’s “Cuz I Love You Tour” and Anderson .Paak’s “ABC Tour” while launching “Burnout,” a landmark new songwriting camp with the aim of fostering perspective, balance and self-care for creative artists. The premiere “Burnout” camp was held in Brooklyn, NY this past October, with further camps planned for the coming months. Additional information can be found here: twitter.com/blazingburnout.
