Heidi Klum is not just a supermodel and a judge on America’s Got Talent; she’s also making waves in the music scene. The 50-year-old multi-talented personality recently dropped a sizzling new cover of the 80s hit “Sunglasses at Night,” signaling her entry into the world of dance music. Produced by none other than the renowned DJ/producer Tiësto, this electrifying track is not just a musical venture for Heidi but also serves as the title track for the upcoming season of Germany’s Next Topmodel, a show she both hosts and produces.
In a statement, Heidi shared her inspiration behind the cover, saying, “I was thinking about the moment in the middle of the night at a party when you have been up way too late, your makeup has melted off, you are sweaty and cross-eyed, and all you crave is a pair of sunglasses.” The scene Heidi describes captures the essence of the iconic 80s hit, Corey Hart’s Sunglasses at Night. Heidi expressed her excitement about remixing and re-recording the track with Tiësto, calling it an honor.
Tiësto, a great friend of Heidi, echoed the sentiment, saying, “Heidi is a great friend, so naturally, it was a lot of fun to work on this one together! We were hanging out when she shared her idea to remake the original 80’s hit, and I wanted to help her on the production! I love how the track turned out, and I’m super excited for her and this release.”
The original artist of “Sunglasses at Night,” Corey Hart, not only supports Heidi’s cover but also showered her with praise. In a statement, he exclaimed, “Superstar Heidi Klum covering ‘Sunglasses At Night’ is like a seductive supernova dance explosion on the bright side of the moon!” Hart’s excitement was evident as he shared a video on Instagram, expressing, “Dear Heidi – And just like the rest of the world …I’ve got a crush on you too!! 💕Happy Release Day January 26 😎 Corey Hart.”
Heidi responded to Hart’s warm words on Instagram, saying, “You are soooo sweet. Thank you sooooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎 Thank you for letting me do a remix of your Song 🙏🏻❤️”
The release of this cover not only marks Heidi Klum’s venture into music but also highlights the crossroads of fashion, entertainment, and music in her dynamic career. As the title track for Germany’s Next Topmodel, the song sets the stage for a season filled with fashion, glamour, and, now, an infectious dance anthem brought to life by Heidi and Tiësto. Fans can anticipate a thrilling combination of Heidi’s magnetic energy and Tiësto’s musical prowess when they hit the dance floor with “Sunglasses at Night.”
