Kimberly Kai’s new single “Sing Me Dance Me” arrives as both a personal anthem and a communal invitation. Written around her birthday, the track is a love letter to the two forces that fuel her most—singing and dancing. Sparked by the phrase “sing me alive,” gifted during a monthly songwriting circle by fellow artist Kiranjot Kaur, Kai transformed the idea into a celebration of vitality, offering listeners not just a song, but a way to feel vividly present.
From the opening bars, “Sing Me Dance Me” sets a pulse that’s impossible to ignore. Built on a groove that carries both lightness and drive, the track opens into two standout instrumental breaks from guitarist and bassist Scott Elliott Ferreter. Kai’s voice glides above with warmth and clarity, bolstered by Stef Wenger’s radiant harmonies that expand into a wordless chorus—an invitation for listeners to join in. The result is a sound that feels lush, immediate, and effortlessly alive.
Part of the song’s power lies in its balance of polish and spontaneity. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by David Lipps, the track is technically pristine without losing its raw spark. To deepen the connection, Kai released a simple but striking video of herself dancing to the song. It’s not a staged performance—it’s an intimate glimpse of the joy at the heart of her music, capturing exactly what she wants listeners to feel: movement, release, and freedom.
“Sing Me Dance Me” also marks a new chapter in Kai’s artistic journey. It’s the latest preview from her upcoming debut album, Currents of Grace, which has already begun to take shape with four previo
usly released singles. Nurtured through her online Creator’s Circle, the project reflects both her discipline and prolific spirit—more than 16 songs are already written and waiting in the wings. With another single, “If Eyes Are the Windows,” slated for release September 9, Kai is setting the rhythm for a consistent flow of new music.
That momentum continues this fall, with a hometown listening party in Sebastopol, California, on September 27 and the full album scheduled for mid-December. But for Kai, the vision extends far beyond one project. She plans to keep releasing new songs monthly, gathering each year’s work into an album—a creative current that keeps both her and her listeners in motion.
At its heart, Kai’s music isn’t about spectacle; it’s about connection. “Sing Me Dance Me” is her reminder that joy doesn’t need permission—that even in heavy times, we can move, sing, and reclaim a sense of aliveness. It’s a pulse worth holding onto, and one that lingers long after the last note fades.
