UPSAHL Ushers in New Era with Anthem "Summer So Hot"
Today, to usher in the official start of summer, Pop-rulebreaker UPSAHL makes her long awaited return with a brand new single and accompanying music video titled “Summer so hot,” out now via RCA Records UK – listen HERE and watch HERE. The new single comes on the heels of UPSAHL announcing her 40+ date international 2024 “Melt me down” headline tour earlier this week with a run of shows across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Tickets are on-sale now at HERE.
“Summer so hot” kicks off a new era for UPSAHL as she demonstrates her sonically elevated new sound. Destined to be played on a speaker out by the pool in warm weather, the track is a sexy summer anthem showcasing UPSAHL’s breezy vocals, impressive breath work with packed lyrical verses and an electro-infused bassline keeping the beat. The music video, replete with fans, ice cubes, and popsicles, emphasizes the sweltering heat UPSAHL is doing her best to cool off from. Alternating between a poolside dance party (from which you can see the detritus of the previous night’s debauchery strewn across the lawn) and a sensual video shoot in the cool confines of the house, UPSAHL perfectly encapsulates what a typical summer hang looks like in the throes of soaring temps.
On the track, UPSAHL shares: “I wrote “Summer so hot” in the middle of winter in London. I was feeling nostalgic for that perfect summer day where all fucks fly out the window, you’re just being present with friends, and escaping to wherever the day takes you.”
The “Melt me down” tour will see UPSAHL playing her largest venues to date, performing for her legion of fans across the globe. The 40+ city trek will kick-off in San Diego and make stops in Los Angeles, Phoenix (her hometown), Austin, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, and more before concluding in Paris. She recently wrapped her supporting act for Madison Beer’s “The Spinnin’ Tour” and will be performing across Europe with a run of headlining shows and festival sets this August including FM4 Frequency 2024 in Austria and Feelings 2024 in Norway.
UPSAHL’s enigmatic and endearing style has proven her valuable worth with critically acclaimed debut album Lady Jesus, Sagittarius EP, and her most recent, 2023 The PHX Tapes. Previously opening for Tove Lo, Yungblud and Melanie Martinez, she is every artist’s favorite artist and she’s no stranger to touring life. Her shows are electric, empowering, and full of energy, perfectly showcasing the “top-tier pop music chameleon” that she is. Her sets also show off her musicality – with her impressive display of guitar chops and wide-ranging vocals (mentions of her recent openings for Madison Beer in Tampa Bay and Houston are glowingly positive).
