På fredag släpper Grammybelönade tyska DJ:n och producenten Purple Disco Machine och Benjamin Ingrosso singeln ”Honey Boy” som gästas av legenden Nile Rodgers och jamaicanska stjärnskottet Shenseea. Vi bjuds på en tidlös dansklassiker där discons nutid och dåtids möts. Sommaren 2024 har fått ett soundtrack!

”Honey Boy” har redan blivit en stor favorit hos Benjamins fans, som fått försmak av låten både live under hans turné och på TikTok där Benjamin teasrat om vad som komma skall under flera månaders tid. Nu på fredag 3 maj får äntligen fansen vad de vill – ”Honey Boy” på alla streamingtjänster och digitala musikbutiker.

Singeln ”Honey Boy” släpps via Sony Music Germany som arbetar med den hyllade hitmakaren och Grammynominerade tyska DJ:n Purple Disco Machine.

Ur den internationella pressreleasen berättar PDM, Tino Schmidt:
“Benjamin sent the track to me late last year and I was immediately intrigued by its hook, infectious melody and overall funky vibes. I just couldn’t wait to really upgrade and highlight the disco and funk sensibilities of this one. Shenseea’s voice just fits the song perfectly and really complements Benjamin’s amazing vocal performance. Obviously with an artist name like mine it is pretty easy to guess that Nile Rodgers is one of my all-time heroes and someone I always dreamed of working with. A legend doesn’t really cover it! I reached out to his team and was just so thrilled when his guitar lines came back. It's the perfect match to this track and I could not be prouder to have my name with his on the artist credits. Just can’t wait to actually meet him.”

Benjamin berättar:
“I came up with "Honey Boy" at a nightclub in Stockholm, carried away by the rhythm of a house beat that instantly had me humming along to what would become the chorus. That melody haunted me for an entire year. It wasn't until I found myself in a Chinese restaurant, nodding along to a disco track, that it all clicked. It had to become a disco song. The song, shaped by a memorable encounter in the city's nightlife, quickly moved from concept to studio recording. Once recorded, we all felt the potential the song had and that we had to add more talented influences to make it reach its full potential. I reached out to Tino (Purple Disco Machine) to see if he wanted to finalise it with me, which he wanted! After having gone back and forth and crafted what we believed was the perfect foundation for the song, we reached out to Shenseea who joined in and added her touch to the record. The final piece of the puzzle was when Tino got Nile Rodgers to add live guitar to the song, infusing the track with authentic disco-era vibes. On my Europe tour I have been teasing the song and "Honey Boy" has proven irresistible, compelling everyone to dance.”
