Kaleena Zanders belts of brighter days to come on “STRONGER THAN MACHINES,” the penultimate track from her debut LP that beams like a ray of sunshine. Warm and luminous, the seven-song set from one of dance music’s most essential voices is a no-skips affair, born from California native’s desire to create without restriction.

“Typically, the way I experience music is fluid and without boundaries. I’ve always been drawn to blending genres, and this album became a space where I could explore and let the electronic sounds I love exist freely,” she explains. “ I also wanted to show a range of emotions that I feel like I typically don't share with my audience.”

That ethos is reflected in the LP’s title, Anything Goes, a name that feels especially fitting at a time when dance/electronic music’s continued rise is inspiring new sounds and increasingly blurring the lines between styles.

“‘ANYTHING GOES’ is a reaction to the world around us,” Zanders says of the project's impassioned title track. “It feels like the people shaping it are constantly rewriting the rules, shifting systems, redefining what’s possible, whether we’re ready or not. There’s a kind of chaos to it…like everything is up for grabs. So this album is my answer: Create without fear. Move without limits. If you have something to give, give it. Because in a world that feels like a free-for-all…maybe the most powerful thing we can do is not hold back.”

Zanders flexes her vocal muscles solo on about half of the album’s earworms, inviting a coterie of collaborators – Shift K3Y, Bipolar Sunshine, Hayley May, and NO BILLS – to join her along the way. In the process, she roves fluidly from breakbeat and UKG-flavored bass to ambrosial house and flashes of pop, yielding a project that’s fresh, catchy, and remarkably cohesive.

With her debut LP out now via Helix Records, the multi-hyphenate is in the midst of her largest headline tour in the United States, which launched at Public Records in New York on April 23. The 13-date run features additional stops in Toronto, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles, as well as performances at six festivals, including Electric Forest and Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge. Tickets are currently available via Zanders’ website.
