As the global music industry gets increasingly smaller, artists are continuing to get more ambitious in connecting with overseas collaborators to help elevate their work and bring it to more people. While the world’s current situation won’t allow music fans to meet in person, they can still have a global dance party with PLS&TY’s new Very Special EP that drops today, April 3.

The record delivers the future-bass producer (neé Tommy Leas) and his signature style of feel-good dance music for wider audience than ever. The album includes British soul singer Kyan (on the synth-y opener “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”), Jamaican-born hitmaker Sean Kingston (who shines on the stomping title track) as well as a slew of up-and-coming producer and singers from the U.S.

“The Very Special EP comes at a time when so much uncertainty and negativity exist in today's world,” PLS&TY shares in an exclusive statement. “I desire for the songs on the EP to be an escape for listeners everywhere. The project as a whole represents an abundance of joy with each record encapsulating positivity and an uplifting message: forget about your worries, because tonight, and every night, is ‘very special’ in the celebration of life, love, and good vibes."

His collaborator on the EP’s title track, chart-topper Sean Kingston, emphasizes the positive message of the producers as well. “I really enjoy PLS&TY’s feel-good music that he always put out and it’s really what we need right now,” Kingston tells me exclusively. “I’ve always done happy music since the beginning of my career and this is a time where we all need that happy, uplifting music to bring us together during this tough time. Music brings people together and I hope Very Special can be part of that escape and let fans enjoy a special night away from worries.”
