Vella Takes Over the Dancefloor with Self-Love Anthem “Dance Without You”
Los Angeles powerhouse singer Vella returns with “Dance Without You,” the first single following her celebrated 2025 album, All My Love. The new track blends soulful, robust vocals with an infectious beat that will have you dancing in no time. While the song cleverly interpolates the chorus of the late-90s house track “Feeling For You” by French house duo Cassius, Vella gives it new life by adding verses. She tapped co-writers Carl Ryden (Kylie Minogue, Ricky Martin, Icona Pop), Will Simms (The Pussycat Dolls, The Black Eyed Peas), and Sadie Rose Van (Jonas Blue) to help bring the song to fruition.
Vella sets about creating a world where listeners can scream the words to a favorite melody or dance along with no inhibitions or restraint. “I love being vulnerable in my songs. When you’re in that situation where you love someone that you shouldn’t love because they’re not right for you, it’s okay to put your foot down and say you’re done and walk away. Good riddance,” Vella explains. “Dance Without You” serves as an anthem of independence for anyone getting over a relationship and reclaiming their sense of self. The single wastes no time taking listeners on a dynamic vocal journey that builds in intensity as Vella shifts between raspy and ethereal tones, resulting in a sound of her own making.

Born in Tampa Bay and currently residing in Los Angeles, Vella is nothing short of a true artist. From her honest songwriting to her 70s fashion style, she is authentic down to the last hippie feather woven in her hair. The unapologetically fierce feminist is ready to take over the airwaves and dance clubs! While her last record was released on Universal Music Sweden, she signed with L3V3L Music for this latest single. Vella has performed across the US and Europe, sharing the stage with icons like Ed Sheeran, SOFI TUKKER, and, later this summer, Teddy Swims. Vella has cemented herself as a global pop artist whose music and creativity know no bounds.
“’Dance Without You’ should make you want to dance and scream about your emotions,” Vella says. “This song is about walking away from someone who is toxic for you.” Mixed with an irresistible, funky beat, Vella tells a story of soulful liberation from an unhealthy situationship she knew wasn’t right for her.
