City Builders, the project of Toronto-based artist Grace Turner, shares her brand new single No Sleep, a chaotic and euphoric anthem dedicated to wild nights, reckless fun, and the liberating art of letting go.
I am loving the energy of this song and how it instantly makes me want to go out at night with friends and just have a good time. No Sleep came together in a whirlwind week with producers Zach Zanardo and Al P, and co-writer Maia Davies and the result is a celebration of the beauty of the thrill of friendship and freedom. I am loving those confident, sultry vocals and how they radiate so much energy from start to finish. Beyond its infectious energy, No Sleep carries City Builders’ signature emotional depth: an invitation to embrace chaos without shame, all this wrapped around an electrifying production with lush synths, groovy rhythms and beats that create the perfect atmosphere to get you hyped up for a night out in no time.
My best friend and I turn into absolute demons on a night out. There’s nothing like giving into your intrusive ideas with a best friend, and I needed to write something that sounded as chaotic as our nights out. Everyone was so stoked with the record that we got the ball rolling immediately and completed the track in a week. I even got my friends in the studio to record adlibs and backup vocals and scheduled a shoot for the cover art the same night.
My goal as an artist is to enable people to feel their most extreme emotions. I hope this song helps people let loose and become a menace for a night because it is liberating. I also hope that this song encourages the listener to feel shameless and quiets the noise when the hangxiety of a crazy night out creeps in. This song makes me want to go bar hopping with my best friend, end up at our ops party, make an Irish exit and bring home some kind of furniture we find on the street.
