Unique Duo Caplin & Massiah Release Defiant Single “Dance To It”

Unique musical duo Caplin and Massiah released their new single “Dance To It” in late September. With Zeeteah Massiah’s soulful vocals and Paul Caplin’s masterful production, “Dance To It” reminds us to keep on grooving even when life is tough.

This upbeat single brings energy and joy to the theme of resilience, combining infectious rhythms with a powerful message of strength.

Describing the idea behind their latest track, Caplin and Massiah explain:

“Dancing is a metaphor for coping. If you can dance to it, you can survive it.”

Influenced by a diverse range of genres, including Afrobeats, reggae/dancehall, funk, disco, hip hop, blues and soul, Caplin and Massiah’s music is a genre-defying fusion. Their sound draws from musical greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Prince, Tina Turner, Arya Starr, Billie Eilish, and RAYE, resulting in an eclectic and modern blend of synth-pop infused with soul.

Now in their 60s, the duo is proving that creativity and exploration know no age limits as they embark on a new chapter of their artistic journeys.

Zeeteah Massiah has been a celebrated vocalist for nearly five decades, performing alongside legends such as Tom Jones, Phil Collins, Robbie Williams, and Sting. She has also achieved notable chart success, including a No.1 dance hit in the U.S. and UK chart hits.

Paul Caplin boasts an equally impressive background, having co-founded 1980s rebel pop trio Haysi Fantayzee, earning multiple hit singles and a gold album. Caplin later went on to launch his own record label, where he further developed his craft as a producer and songwriter, working with a wide range of artists. The pair have also been featured in the Daily Mirror, Daily Express, BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing, Jammerzine, Authority Magazine, and Crucial Rhythm.

Given their rich musical histories, Caplin and Massiah have attracted the talents of other renowned musicians and collaborators, including Bedlam, Dynamite, Silverland, Danglin, Otto Williams, and Horseman. “Dance To It” marks the latest chapter in Caplin and Massiah’s long and illustrious careers, offering an irresistible invitation to dance, reflect, and connect.

“Dance To It” is out now on all streaming platforms.
