"Edge of the Night" is a song by Australian indie pop band,Sheppard. The song was written during the band's writing session in September 2016 and first released in Australia on 23 June 2017 as the third single from the band's second studio album, Watching the Sky (2018).
In an interview with Essentially Pop,George Sheppard said:"'Edge of the Night' isn't your typical Sheppard track,It's a tongue in cheek funk pop throwback to house parties and old school vibes. It's an opportunity for us to let our hair down and try something completely different." [1]
A Spanish-language version was released in July 2017,featuring Sebastián Yatra.
Press Party said:"Adding some undeniable hooks,a sprinkling of funk and an unmistakably catchy baritone growl,'Edge of the Night' shows the band jumping effortlessly from the airwaves to the dance floor." [2]
Katie Baillie from Metro said:"Edge of the Night" has "a bit of a DNCE vibe" and is an "uplifting summer banger with a cool video to boot". [3]
In a review of the album,Stack Magazine said the song "over-reaches,trying too hard to be a party anthem but ending up sounding like a Peter Andre out take." [4]
The music video for "Edge of the Night" was released on 7 July 2017. [5]
