Fresh off a USA tour supporting fellow Canadian, Jon Vinyl, with stops in LA, New York, Atlanta, Chicago and more, Preston continues his momentum with this new remix. Posting a call out on social media, here, Preston asked fans who they’d like to have collab on the track.
“When ‘Dance Alone’ first came out, so much of the traction was coming from Africa, so I’m super pumped to be able to put out this afrobeats version of the track,” says Preston. “This song has always felt global to me so having this kind of remix is very exciting. I met Nonso a while back and have been a big fan ever since, so to now have him and Qing Madi, who is incredible, part of this remix is so cool. I can’t wait for the fans to hear this!”
