It is no overstatement to say that reimagining Dua’s amazing record, Levitating with Madonna and Missy Elliott was my dream come true. That’s a phrase that is overused, but in this case it is absolutely literal.
In making the Levitating remix, I thought a lot about what it would mean to enter the “Duaverse” and create dance classic that we would both be proud of equally.
I wanted this record to stand the test of time and straddle the things I love about underground dance music and perfect radio pop.
It was strange to work completely alone and in total secrecy on something that has been the most special and ultimately public experience of my life. Pajamas were involved.
Though this music was born in a world where there were no clubs, it is a record for the dance floor that lives inside of every dancer.
This has not only been an honor, but the very best medicine for these dancing feet that are stuck at home.
I cannot thank @DUALIPA , her team, @Madonna and of course, @MissyElliott enough for letting this music heal me again.
I hope this song lifts up the spirits of everyone that hears it, as much as making it has lifted mine.
Truly, I am levitating.
