Today, Global dance sensation and international icon, Alesso, introduces the next era of his artistry with his latest hit “Lonely Heart” via his new imprint Body Hi in collaboration with the first artist to be signed to the label, John Alto.
Known for his energetic beats and electrifying sets that captivate audiences around the world, “Lonely Heart” offers a striking shift from Alesso’s signature dance-infused sound, delving into the hypnotic, atmospheric realms of underground house. The track carries a moody yet mesmerizing rhythm that showcases both Alesso and Alto’s artistic versatility. A reimagined take on Yes’ 1983 hit “Owner of a Lonely Heart”, the track blends heavy basslines with rich, rock ‘n’ roll vocal layers to reveal a dynamic collaboration forged from sonic exploration.
The release of “Lonely Heart” and signing of Alto marks the latest artistic evolution of Alesso’s journey, expanding his creative range while staying true to his innovative edge. The label serves as a dynamic platform, not only highlighting Alesso’s unparalleled ability to fuse his production mastery across various strains of electronic music, but also pushing the boundaries of sound by showcasing the talents and influences that resonate with him, regardless of category. Body Hi marks a transition for the phenomenon from more commercial, dance-heavy beats into a sonic realm that is entirely more personal, intimate, and timeless. Through each release on Body Hi, fans will experience a side of Alesso that exemplifies his depth as a producer as he continues to experiment with more nuanced, emotive sonic spaces.
From Alesso: “I created Body Hi to make and share the music that I am excited about with the world. To sign John, who is incredibly talented, as the first artist on the label while also releasing ‘Lonely Heart’ together is really special. We are ready for the world to hear this new sound and more of what’s to come.”
Following the success of his recent “Hypnotize” EP, Alesso continues to dominate the global music scene, electrifying crowds at major international festivals including standout performances at EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland Winter, and Coachella. Notably, Alesso’s 2017 hit collaboration with Florida Georgia Line and Hailee Steinfeld, “Let Me Go,” has just surpassed a billion streams, further cementing his influence in the global music landscape, and his cross-genre hit “I Like It” featuring country music sensation Nate Smith recently hit #1 on US Dance Radio Charts.
