PIERRE KWENDERS - TEARS ON THE DANCE FLOOR
LABEL : MOONSHINE / ADA WARNER // RELEASE DATE : FEBRUARY 26, 2025


This EP is a heartfelt ode to the dancefloor that marks a shift from big-picture ambition to an intimate exploration of human connection. With Tears On The Dancefloor, Pierre Kwenders takes listeners on a journey through the intricacies of love, vulnerability, and self-discovery, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a celebration among close friends.

As a testament to the power of music as both a sanctuary and a space for self-expression, Tears On The Dancefloor invites audiences to step into a space where emotional depth and freedom collide, encouraging reflection, healing, and connection. Each track is a reflection of the personal and collective experiences we all share as we navigate love, joy, fear, and growth.

The EP opens with the lead single “Everyday” featuring Lady Donli and Gafacci, a tender celebration of love’s quiet beauty, where every laugh and sleepy morning shared with a loved one becomes a moment to cherish. Lady Donli’s voice adds a layer of warmth, turning this track into a heartfelt embrace.

The record includes the second single “We Like” featuring Poté, a rallying cry for unity, a song for connection and celebration. “I’m honored to have collaborated with some of my favorite DJs and producers who have graced countless dance floors: Gafacci, Poté, Vanyfox, NegoO, and Dogzout,” says Kwenders. “Additionally, the incredible vocals of Pierre Lapointe, Lady Donli, Mopao Mumu, and Pony bring life and depth to this project. Together, we embark on a journey through the dance floor, exploring our innermost selves and emotions until we ultimately reach a place of freedom.”

Born José Louis Modabi in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pierre Kwenders blends pop, electronica and Congolese rumba while singing and rapping in Lingala, French, English, Tshiluba and Kikongo, and mining the languages' lyrical and aesthetic distinctions for peak emotional resonance. Inspired by the intricacies of love, vulnerability, and self-discovery, Kwenders returns with a new EP, continuing his exploration of musical boundaries and cultural narratives.
