Vancouver-based alternative pop band, Hotel Mira, has released a new single entitled “Dancing with the Moonlight,” a celebratory pop anthem with an infectious melody and relatable lyrics. The track is produced by Steve Bays, known for his work with Fur Trade and Hot Hot Heat.
Comprised of Charlie on vocals, Clark on guitar, Mike on bass, and Cole on drums, Hotel Mira is a band that prides itself on crafting music that speaks to the human experience. “Dancing with the Moonlight” is the third single released by the band following the success of their debut album Perfectionism.
The song was created in Steve’s Tugboat Pl. facility in New Westminster, and according to Charlie, it was inspired by his anxieties about moving to Southern California. The track explores the struggles of balancing life and works in the arts industry, and how ambition can sometimes overshadow one’s true identity.
Despite the vulnerable subject matter, “Dancing with the Moonlight” is a celebratory track that encourages listeners to embrace their dreams and pursue their passions. The melody is upbeat and catchy, with a memorable chorus that will stick in your head long after the song has ended.
Hotel Mira’s sound is defined by Charlie’s distinct vocals, which range from soaring falsetto to gritty, emotive delivery. The instrumentals are equally impressive, with driving bass lines, intricate guitar riffs, and powerful drum beats that add depth and texture to the music.
