Just ahead of his main stage performance at Ultra Music Festival, KSHMR unveils his latest single “Happy,” a deeply personal track penned entirely by the artist himself. Teaming up with Finnish singer-songwriter Tiina, the duo brings this unconventional release to life. Additionally, KSHMR, known for his innovative approach to music production, shares his enthusiasm for collaborating with Tiina once again, reminiscing about their previous work on “Do Bad Well.” Moreover, this time around, he initiated the creative process with chords in the Phrygian mode, setting a darker tone uncommon in mainstream dance tracks.

Further, Tiina adds her perspective, interpreting “Happy” as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity. She emphasizes the importance of leveraging hardships as motivation, even amidst moments of uncertainty and criticism.
With its imminent release coinciding with KSHMR‘s highly anticipated performance at Ultra Music Festival on March 23rd, “Happy” promises to captivate audiences with its emotive resonance and infectious beats. Finally, as the artist invites listeners to delve into the complexities of human experience through music, “Happy” emerges as a compelling addition to KSHMR‘s diverse repertoire.
