Becky Hill has teamed up with dance music trailblazer Sonny Fodera for new dance banger ‘Never Be Alone’.
‘Never Be Alone’ draws upon Hill’s influences from deep within the world of club culture. Her dancefloor diva topline mixed with Sonny Fodera’s production provides an intoxicating rush of heavyweight dub bass, pounding beats, luminous synths and atmospheric breakdowns which allows the drops to hit hard.
Hill says, “‘Never Be Alone’ was born out of a post lockdown world where isolation & distance were forced upon the world. With my partner & I both being in music, we really felt the full force of an imposed lockdown on the events industry. Our entire careers were in jeopardy and I really felt the downward spiral of someone I loved, who’d worked his entire adult life curating line ups for festivals and clubs. I wrote this song with my long time collaborator Karen Poole (‘Remember’, ‘History’ and ‘Disconnect’) drawing on inspiration from the time we lived apart, feeling helpless with his despair.
What I love about this single is that it has transcended lockdown and feels so relevant still in a time when we need to be there for each other now more than ever. I’ve been playing it in my live sets this summer and it has been a joy watching the crowd’s reaction, but I’m excited to show people what Sonny Fodera has added to this anthem; he’s one of the only people left in the dance space I haven’t collaborated with yet and I can’t wait to release this record alongside him.”
The video for the track, which you can watch at the top of this article, is directed by Remi Laudat and filmed in the barren natural beauty of Morocco’s Agafay Desert just outside of Marrakesh.
