In a enchanting fusion of R&B and house music, Ciara joins forces with the dynamic dance music trio Keys N Krates for their latest collaborative single, “Fantasy.” The pulsating party anthem is a standout track on Keys N Krates’ new album, IN:TENSION, released via Last Gang/MNRK.

Expressing her excitement about the collaboration, Ciara shares, “After vibing with ‘Fantasy’ for the first time, I had good feels all over. I felt an infectious energy that made me want to dance, and I could envision myself living my best life to this song all over the world.”

Continuing, she adds, “This is the perfect party song for my collaboration with Keys N Krates. House is a space I’ve really been wanting to get involved in, so I’m excited for the world to hear it.”

Keys N Krates also shed light on the creative process, emphasizing the importance of maintaining authenticity in Ciara’s venture into the house music realm. They describe the track’s sonic elements, blending warm blocky drums reminiscent of techno, a classic M1 piano line, and impactful 808s. The juxtaposition of heavy percussion and bass with feel-good pianos and Ciara’s sweet-sounding vocals creates a perfect balance.
