Disco legend Gloria Gaynor is counting down the days until fans can hear her latest musical offering. The Grammy-winning singer took to Instagram to share her excitement about her upcoming single, “When I See You,” set to drop on May 9th.
In her recent post, Gaynor expressed: “May 9th is getting closer, and I seriously can’t wait for you to hear ‘When I See You’ ❤️🎵.” The image accompanying the post shows the singer looking radiant in a professional studio setting, suggesting this new music holds special significance for the veteran performer.
This single announcement follows a series of posts from Gaynor detailing her upcoming musical projects. The “When I See You” single will be followed by a complete five-song EP titled “Happy Tears,” scheduled for release on June 6th.
Gaynor has been building anticipation for these releases through her social media. In a previous post, she shared a studio recording session clip where she can be seen singing with evident emotion, stating: “This was me recording ‘When I See You’ and I can’t wait for you to hear it on May 9th!”
The singer has also offered fans a preview of her upcoming EP by sharing snippets of the title track “Happy Tears,” which she co-wrote with talented collaborators Caitlyn Smith and Regis Funk. The song showcases Gaynor’s distinctive vocal style while exploring emotional themes that relate to her audience.
At 81 years old, Gloria Gaynor continues to build on a legendary career that spans over five decades. Best known for her empowering anthem “I Will Survive,” which became a global phenomenon after its 1978 release, Gaynor has maintained her status as a musical icon whose work transcends generations.
Gaynor has experienced a career renaissance in recent years. In 2020, she won her second Grammy Award, 40 years after her first, for Best Roots Gospel Album with “Testimony.” Her impact extends beyond her performances. In one example, she recently reposted a mural tribute from an artist who shared how “I Will Survive” had special significance for generations of women in their family battling cancer. The artist’s message read: “Thank you @gloriagaynor for uplifting generations of women in my family.”
Fans can now pre-save “When I See You” ahead of its May 9th release, with the full “Happy Tears” EP following on June 6th. Gaynor’s hashtags on her promotional posts, including #happytears, #newmusic, and #iwillsurvive, suggest this new material will connect her legendary past with a fresh chapter, continuing her journey as one of music’s most beloved voices.
