SiriusXM TikTok Radio Interview

New York, NY – (July 24, 2025) – Multi-platinum dance icon Crystal Waters reunites with Stockholm-London duo ManyFew for their explosive third single, “Umm Bop” — a high-octane jazz-infused house anthem made for peak summer sets. Fresh off their #1 UK hit "You & Me" and the growing success of the follow-up second single "Big Bite" – which has racked up 74.9K streams, landed on 70 playlists, and reached over 2.5 million listeners – the collaborators return with a hook-driven groove, elevated by sleek house production and Waters’ unmistakable vocal firepower. The extended mixes — including Vocal, Dub, and Instrumental versions (IAH030) — drop August 8 exclusively on Beatport for a two-week window, alongside a radio edit (IAH031) available the same day on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms. The full digital release of all mixes lands August 22 across DJ-focused outlets like Traxsource, Juno, and more. With remix packages and contest winner announcements on the horizon, “Umm Bop” sets the tone for what’s next in Crystal Waters’ long-awaited return to album-making.

Waters shares, “I'm excited for everyone to hear this one. When ManyFew sent me the track, I came up with the hook line instantly. It was fun to once again add a little jazzy vibe to a House track. It has such a special urban feel to it."

Adding to the “Umm Bop” excitement, Waters and ManyFew recently teamed up with nonprofit Change The Beat (CTB) — founded by Sydney Blu to amplify women and underrepresented voices in electronic music — for the “Umm Bop” Remix Challenge, in partnership with I Am House Records. The response was incredible, with over 60 remixes submitted across styles from tech house to soulful grooves to loungey drum & bass. The top two winners will score exclusive pro-level gear and see their remixes officially released on IAH Records. Winners will be announced soon — stay tuned!

Crystal Waters holds an iconic place in music history, best known for timeless anthems like “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)” and “100% Pure Love”, as well as her European chart-topper “Destination Calabria” with Alex Gaudino. With six ASCAP Songwriter Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, and three American Music Award nominations, her influence continues to shape dance music. Recognized by Mixmag as “one of the most influential women in dance music” and by Billboard for her 12 #1 Billboard Dance Chart hits and 11 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart, Waters remains a dominant force, boasting over 100M Spotify streams and 3.8M monthly listeners.

Curated and hosted by Waters, her I AM HOUSE Radio show features an expertly curated selection of cutting-edge house tracks from around the world, showcasing her deep-rooted influence in the genre.

Now airing Saturdays at 7 PM ET, with replays on Sundays and Thursdays at 8 PM ET.

Recently, Waters made waves at Miami Music Week 2025, where she received top honors and lent her voice to pivotal industry discussions. From being awarded the Voice of House Award at the inaugural FEMMY Awards to receiving the Female Icon Award at the Electronic Dance Music Awards, Waters was celebrated for her groundbreaking contributions to dance music. Beyond the accolades, she played a key role in two high-impact panels—Winter Music Conference’s "Diversifying the Dancefloor: Advancing Equity and Access Through Meaningful Change" and FEMME HOUSE x W HOTELS’ "Impact, Longevity, and Equity in Dance Music."

Swedish production duo ManyFew fuse modern club culture with old-school flavors, earning releases on Axtone, Musical Freedom, Selected, and Spinnin’ Records with support from Axwell, Chris Lake, Duke Dumont, Gorgon City, and Rudimental. With 2M+ monthly listeners on their Electronic Heaven radio show, they’ve cemented their tastemaker status, earning BBC Radio 1 support and a Future 4 nod from Tomorrowland. Their Selected Records debut Out Of My Head with Jack Wins hit #1 on 1001 Tracklists’ Best New Songs Chart and racked up 20M+ Spotify streams. In 2022, they launched ManyFew Records, which entered the Beatport Hype Charts in 2024. Collaborating with ABBA’s Janne Schaffer on Back To Back, they continue to push boundaries while playing top venues like Ministry of Sound, Ibiza Rocks, and Slakthuset Stockholm.

Riding high on their unstoppable momentum, Waters and ManyFew strike gold again with “Umm Bop” — a track primed for heavy club rotation and radio play. With more releases on the way, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for the dance music pioneer.
