Today, singer and songwriter Darren Criss released his newest single, "for a night like this".

Listen below!

The release comes alongside the exciting announcement of his upcoming EP, Masquerade, out August 20. Pre-save HERE.

"for a night like this" arrives on the heels of two previously released singles, "i can't dance" and "f*kn around," each showcasing a completely different side of Darren as an artist. Describing this collection of songs as "character-driven singles," Darren explores even more personas on Masquerade. Darren will perform songs from the EP live for the first time at Elsie Fest on August 29 in NYC as part of the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at the Prospect Park Bandshell. Full track listing of Masquerade can be found below.

About the new single, Darren shares, "What artist doesn't want a song of theirs to end up on the permanent playlist for every wedding, New Year's Eve, reception, afterparty, Quinceañera, Bar and Bat Mitzvah? 'for a night like this' is me trying my hand at joining the ranks of those go-to celebration songs we all know and love. So, like the best of them, I made a song designed to invite you out of your seat and onto the dance floor, for the nights you get dressed up to get down, for the ones you spend a little on to celebrate a lot for. A song for those special nights you work hard and wait for, so you can go all out sharing something you love with the people you love."

Music has always played an integral role in Darren's artistry. As a solo artist, his 2017 EP Homework debuted at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Album chart. Criss has toured to sold-out audiences around the world including headlining the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Festival with multi-GRAMMY Award nominee and renowned DJ Steve Aoki. In 2019, he also headlined the Balmain Music Festival for the Balmain men's spring 2020 show. He has been featured on the cover of numerous magazines including such music publications as Billboard and American Songwriter.

As a songwriter, Darren has penned songs for the comedy musical Royalties, for which he was also the creator and executive producer. He received his first Emmy nomination for songwriting in 2015 for Best Original Music and Lyrics for the song "This Time," which appeared on Glee's series finale. In addition to collaborations with fellow artists including Rufus Wainwright, Sabrina Carpenter, Bonnie McKee, Jordan Fisher, and many others, he has also written for Apple's animated series Central Park.

Criss made his Broadway debut, replacing Daniel Radcliffe in the role of J. Pierrepont Finch in the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Criss later took on the role of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch and headlined the national tour in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Masquerade track listing:

1. f*kn around

2. i can't dance

3. let's

4. walk of shame

5. for a night like this

Gaby Moreno, the enchanting Latin Grammy-winning Guatemalan singer/songwriter, arrived onstage at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival Friday night (July 12), promising her fans: “You guys are in for a treat tonight.”

A performance featuring solely Moreno — who won the Latin Grammy Award for best new artist in 2013 — would have been emotionally rewarding enough.

But throughout her concert at the bandshell in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, presented as part of the 20th annual Latin Alternative Music Festival, Moreno and her band were joined by — or stepped out of the spotlight for — a succession of great guest stars, culminating with a finale featuring Oscar Isaac and Jackson Browne.

Moreno’s guest artists included charming Mexican singer Caloncho; the exuberant Andrea Echeverri, lead singer of the Colombian rock band Aterciopelados; the Venezuelan composer/producer Jorge Glem accompanying Moreno on the cuatro and the astounding Flor de Toloache, who bill themselves as New York’s “first and only all-women mariachi group,” joined by rapper Velcro MC who shouted out “Viva Brooklyn!”

But there was more. Isaac, the Golden Globe-winning actor who, like Moreno, emigrated from Guatemala and played in a South Florida punk band early in his career, joined Moreno mid-show for a set that included the sweetly comical title song to her 2016 album Illusion.

As the evening drew to a close, Moreno told the crowd that her new album, Spangled, a collaboration with famed Los Angeles songwriter and producer Van Dyke Parks, would arrive Oct. 4 and that she’d just released the album’s first single, “Across the Borderline,” a song written in the early ‘80s by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Jim Dickinson.

“I sing it as a duet with Jackson Browne,” she said. “And guess what? Jackson Browne is here tonight, you guys! And we’re going to sing it for all of you.”

Browne, bearded but still boyish at 70, walked onstage, gave Moreno a hug and recalled playing at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival a decade earlier.

“Across the Borderline” may have been written more than three decades ago, but its lyrics are just as relevant today with the latest headlines from the Latin American refugee crisis. Moreno and Browne sang:

And when you reach the broken promised land

 And every dream slips though your hand 

You’ll know it’s too late to change your mind ‘

Cause you pay the price to come this far 

Just to wind up where you are 

And you’re still just across the borderline

For one more song, Moreno welcomed Isaac back onstage. With Browne, they sang the classic folk song “Fare Thee Well (Dink’s Song),” which Isaac performed in the lead role of the 2013 film Inside Llewellyn Davis. Bidding the crowd farewell, their three voices rose beautifully into the Brooklyn night.

Darren Criss Releases MASQUERADE EP Today

The five-track EP is a diverse collection of music which showcases Darren’s versatility as an artist.

Today, singer and songwriter Darren Criss releases his brand-new EP Masquerade via BMG [AVAIABLE HERE]. Listen to his newest single "let's" below!

The five-track EP is a diverse collection of music which showcases Darren's versatility as an artist. From the rock n' roll anthem "f*kn around" to the glam "i can't dance" to the most recently released "for a night like this," each track allows Darren to explore different personas. Darren will perform songs from the EP live for the first time at Elsie Fest on August 29 in NYC as part of the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at the Prospect Park Bandshell. Full track listing of Masquerade can be found below.

About the EP, Darren shared on Instagram, "Acting and music are, at their core, the same to me. It's all about identifying an idea and somehow transforming it into an experience, by way of breathing life into a specific masque. As an actor, I've always sought to be consistently inconsistent with the masques I put on, and so I seek to follow suit with the music I make. In the same way a 'role' can be different from story to story, each piece of music should be treated like a different 'part' in a different play. Masquerade is a small collection of the variety of musical masques that have always inspired me. They might not always sound or feel the same, but they are inevitably and undeniably me behind each masque. And that's the kind of eclecticism that not only makes for a successful masquerade ball- but what makes me, me."

Darren made his late-night television performance debut with the single on The Late Late Show with James Corden alongside Este Haim of HAIM on bass, The Pocket Queen on drums, frequent collaborator and San Fermin frontwoman Charlene Kaye on guitar, and the track's co-writer CJ Baran on keys.

Masquerade track listing:

1. f*kn around

2. i can't dance

3. let's

4. walk of shame

5. for a night like this
