    Never heard of her. Going to check her out. But her saying the car accident was the best thing to ever happen to her so she could get out of a record deal is very scary. How evil is America's music industry?

      100%. She was definitely ahead of the time with her sound. Despite hideaway being such a big track, i dont think the general public was really ready yet to appreciate that 90s house
      and b throwback sound she had on a deep lasting level.

      This was during the EDM boom in the EU. Over here it gained huge traction. It also helped that In this time there was a lot house/techno influence in the mainstream EDM here. Her hit was quirky and different but not so different that I couldn’t be mainstream over here.

    I love kiesza omg. Her music is so underrated. I saw her live in 2015 at this teeny little venue and let me tell you girly can put on a SHOW with no budget. Just with her vocals, sheer energy, and damn the girl can DANCE. I knew it was never going to happen, but kiesza really deserved to be a star. Her stage presence is unmatched. She made this tiny little theater feel like an arena.

But i do feel like sometimes you just know someone aint gonna have lasting mainstream pop success barring some strange fluke or glitch in the matrix. Kiesza was always one of those artists for me.

    I thanked her for Hideaway because it was a song that got me through finals in high school. She was super chill and sweet. We have each other hugs.

    i feel like people don't get the brilliance of this song. Mind you, it was completely off-brand for singers in 2013/2014 to release 90s deep house inspired tracks. At that time dance music was more about progressive house, edm with folktronica elements and tropical house, not this "retro" sound of the 90s, which is everywhere nowadays.

Half of her music are worth being on the top 5, but she's practically indie now! Not to mention all of her amazing collab songs, there's so many, with other artists, and very very good ones too or her amazing exclusive shows, like the christmass train, that was travelling in different locations, stopping for a concert and then following for the next destination and many more stuff, or the awards she won at the Juno show, and the amazing performance she had there! So many stuff! I feel ashamed people know her only for Hideaway, because there's so much more that has happened since then!

Hideaway showcase her voice in a different way than Cannonball did and I was super excited to follow her career. A part of me wished she had greater success but as an amateur songwriter, creating music you're passionate about is an amazing feeling, whether or not everyone likes it.

    Thanks for another video honest. I personally have always loved Kiesza, esp because we have a few things in common. I too am a professional singer, a Calgarian, and someone who's been hit by a car and has suffered a TBI as a result. (I got hit as a pedestrian, so I suffered some terrible injuries). That said, as much as I love Kiesza, I must say that her new music doesn't connect with me too well. On a musical level, it absolutely does, but her videos are over-the-top sexualized. I just feel that she hasn't really honed a personal identity as an artist. Her dance and vocal talents are phenomenal. She has all the talent in the world, but I feel that she hops a little bit all over the place in terms of what type of a singer she is. So, it's not just the accident, I feel. That said, I absolutely empathize with the poor soul who got involved in an auto accident.

    A singer can ride off one big hit for a very long time and sustain a career out of it if they stay dedicated to the profession. Most one hit wonders usually take an extended hiatus period once the spotlight fades but can continue to book smaller local gigs until enough time has passed before nostalgia kicks in then they start getting offered more lucrative gigs on the retro festival circuit and back up the ladder they can go. A current trend for faded pop stars is to turn to djing to keep themselves in the public eye if the singing gigs are drying up.

    Whenever anyone brings up music videos, I ALWAYS mention Hideaway. The one shot is everything. Not to mention the choreography and song itself. Clicked on this video so fast to get an update on her!

    Kiesza has a voice that reaches very high notes. She’s incredible. Just listen to her song Cannonball

    It's such a shame cause I really liked her music. Her 90s house style gave me such nostalgia and is what mainly drew me to her music. I got to see her perform here in Australia at a music festival a few years back and she didn't disappoint
