EVA X releases ‘Dance in Shadows’, announces new album ‘TURBOPINK’
EVA X releases the single “Dance in Shadows” on 18 September 2026 and announces her second album, “TURBOPINK”, out 6 November via Distortion Productions.
US goth-industrial artist EVA X released the single “Dance in Shadows” on 18 September 2026, alongside the announcement of her second album, “TURBOPINK”, due 6 November. The single mixes synthpop, metal, power pop and 80s-referencing production, and comes backed with a breakbeat remix by Stoneburner.
“Dance in Shadows” was written by EVA X collaborator Gaby Gustafson after a co-worker and friend died of an aggressive form of cancer. “I had written a super sad song originally, but I knew she’d hate that. It was really important to her to find joy wherever she could. So I ended up reworking the track into Dance in Shadows, our happy little song about death,” Gustafson stated. The B-side carries a breakbeat remix of the track by Stoneburner.
EVA X’s ‘TURBOPINK’ album due 6 November
“TURBOPINK” follows EVA X’s debut album, “I Dream of a Reality”, released on Distortion Productions in 2022. “Dance in Shadows” serves as the album’s preview single. EVA X returns with a full band for the touring cycle around the new record.
