"Never Be Alone" Becky Hill x Sonny Fodera

Release date: Out now Label: Polydor

Becky Hill’s status as a two-time BRIT Award winner with 10 billion streams and seven UK Top 10 hits to her name has continued to build with her recent singles. First ‘Side Effects’ (with Lewis Thompson) hit the Radio 1 playlist on its way to becoming a #1 airplay hit, before her Chase & Status collab ‘Disconnect’ peaked at #6 on the OCC and was certified Gold bringing her to a total of 7.4 million sales as a lead artist in the UK to date. Now Becky Hill propels that stellar form into 2024 as she heightens anticipation for her upcoming second album by unveiling her latest track ‘NEVER BE ALONE’ with fellow dance music trailblazer Sonny Fodera. 

‘Never Be Alone’ draws upon Becky’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. 

Becky 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 song’s blissed out intensity is amplified by its striking video. Directed by Remi Laudat and filmed in the barren natural beauty of Morocco’s Agafay Desert just outside of Marrakesh, Becky cuts a beguiling, magnetic figure as she moves from daylight to dusk, while the song is further intensified by a burning ring of fire.
