Hailing from the Scarborough area of Toronto, 24-year-old singer/songwriter Kira Huszar, aka LOONY, returns today with her sultry and soulful new slow jam called "Dare You" along with it's artfully choreographed video directed by Kosta Kolev, and featuring dancers Jade Whitney (who choreographed the video) and Ken Pham. The single edit of the track features vocals from Baton Rouge rapper on the rise Quadry and was produced by the prodigious Akeel Henry, who says, "I'm excited for 'Dare You' because I think it shows a different side of LOONY. It opens others up to a newer sound we've been exploring... in a way, this song is really like a bridge for what's to come." Meanwhile, LOONY herself explains, "This song started out sounding completely different than it does now. I actually started writing it for someone else to sing, and then it somehow took on a life of its own. The production started getting eerier, my vocal ideas got weirder, then my lyrics got darker, and all of a sudden it was like ‘yup okay, this is for me now."
