#Rising Artist: The Heart Ain't Safe for Callie Reiff as we chat about everything

Callie Reiff 1st show back from the pandemic will be at the Mirage in Brooklyn, NY on the 25th. Opening for Steve Aoki.

We are back with another interview for you guys! We chatted with Callie Reiff about everything including the latest new song Heart Ain’t Safe and her first show back from the pandemic.

Artist/producer Callie Reiff and singer-songwriter Kaeyra have teamed up to deliver a knockout single, “Heart Ain’t Safe." EDM Identity exclusively premiered the single, describing it as "dark, feminine, and bold."

The track represents another bold progression for multi-hyphenate act Callie Reiff who has been making waves this year with a string of impressive singles. On “Heart Ain’t Safe,” her soaring soundscapes and hypnotizing beats provide a cinematic base for Kaeyra’s soulful vocals — it’s the perfect example of Callie’s signature 'indie-club' sound, which she describes as a fusion of “pop/indie-forward vocals and New York club energy production.”

“‘Heart Ain’t Safe’ is about that one person who is always in the back of your mind. Wherever you are at, you know if they were there you would ditch the party to be with them,” Callie says. “I tried to mimic the lyrics with a somewhat dark feeling bassline, intense drums, and an energy that makes you want to be in the middle of a dark rave dancing with all of your friends."

ABOUT CALLIE REIFF: Socials
From musical prodigy to industry trendsetter, New York born-and-raised Callie Reiff is unlike any other. She was just 15-years-old when she made history as the youngest DJ to perform at Webster Hall — since then, she’s taken the stage at festivals such as Creamfields, EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, and Ultra and she’s opened for world-renowned acts like Ed Sheeran, Skrillex, and Deadmau5. From the start, her releases have captured the attention of global tastemakers like Spotify, Teen Vogue, BBC Radio 1’s Annie Nightingale, Rinse FM’s Marcus Nasty, and Diplo.

Pushing forward, the 21-year-old artist and producer has aligned herself at the intersection of indie pop and electronic with a genre she’s coined “indie-club.” She entered 2021 with “The Kids Are All Rebels 2.0 (with Lenii),” a record that set the precedent for her electrifying indie-in-the-club sound, and she’s continued the momentum with a steady stream of new singles, each one further proving that the sky is the limit for Callie’s ever-evolving career.
