Tiësto teams up with Soaky Siren to unleash their latest single, “Tantalizing,” a Carribean-infused Afro house anthem out on Musical Freedom.
Considered by countless fans one of the most defining figures in EDM, Tiësto is a dance music pioneer who needs no introduction. From his early roots in trance to groundbreaking contributions in progressive house, big room, and electro house, the Dutch icon has repeatedly proven that his influence spans many genres as he continues to shape the future of electronic music.
This time, he is marking his first proper foray into the world of Afro house with his latest track “Tantalizing“ after earlier singles like “Dudada” and “VHS RAVE” signaled his intentions to explore a more percussive and rhythmic sound. Out on Musical Freedom, “Tantalizing” features Bahamian artist and songwriter Soaky Siren and delivers rich shimmering melodies that hint at Carribean magic. Perfectly complementing rhythmic pulses and a fluid bassline, Soaky Siren’s mesmerizing vocals take the focal point of the tune.
Conceptually, we leaned into the beauty of the build — desire lives in the tension before the release. There was such a vibe in the room when this was made, and I’m excited to see it touch the world in the same way. Afro house, Caribbean, and dance music all share this pulse where rhythm and energy are cornerstones. I’m grateful for having such brilliant collaborators who love to take risks. It’s truly an honor to celebrate this confluence of culture and sound with Tiësto; he’s an absolute legend.
