Carry on Dancing With Xani’s Disco-Inspired Single, “Dreaming of You”

Enjoy a couple of minutes of bliss listening to Xani’s new track “Dreaming of You”. It’s a sugary blend of disco and pop lifted from Xani’s upcoming concept album, An Inaccurate History of Electronic Music. This track and others from the album ponder the question of what it might be like to never dance again.

Like many of us during last year’s lockdowns, Xani contemplated the idea as dancing with others was something she desperately craved. Through this album, she created her own fictitious world of dance, a place where movement, connection, and music lived on. An Inaccurate History of Electronic Music is a party album that tells the (inaccurate) history of dance music in this imagined universe. It sounds fascinating!

There’s no release date for An Inaccurate History of Electronic Music yet, but Xani has announced some Victorian shows. You may just get to hear more music from the forthcoming album at these gigs.

XANI Delivers Dreamy Love Song, “You Make Me Complete”

I’ve had a fairly quiet start to the new year. With COVID cases rising everywhere, especially in my state of NSW, I’ve enjoyed cocooning with my husband and shutting the rest of the world out. During this time of quiet contemplation, I’ve stumbled across “You Make Me Complete,” the latest single from Melbourne violinist and singer-songwriter XANI.

This track is the perfect reflection of my state of being right now. It’s genuinely romantic with a gentle folk-pop sound. It also came about in a really innovative way through creative interactive sessions with fans on Twitch. Her followers were invited to share their feedback and stream-of-consciousness suggestions until the song reached its final form.

Melbourne music fans can see XANI and other exciting female-identifying artists performing at The Park at Burrinja’s Live on the Lawn show at midday on February 28. Tickets are available now through the Burrinja box office.
