NEVER BE ALONE
by BECKY HILL/SONNY FODERA
Never Be Alone, released 19 January 2024, is taken from Becky Hill’s second album Believe Me Now? (Polydor Records) and serves as the follow-up to the singer’s Top 10 smash Disconnect.
Joining forces with fellow dance music trailblazer Sonny Fodera, Never Be Alone draws upon Becky’s influences from deep within the world of club culture. Her powerhouse dancefloor vocals mixed with Sonny Fodera’s production delivers a rush of heavyweight dub bass, pounding beats, synths and atmospheric breakdowns.
Becky says “Never Be Alone was born out of a post-lockdown world where isolation & distance were forced upon the world. With my partner and 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 Never Be Alone is directed by Remi Laudat and filmed in the barren natural beauty of Morocco’s Agafay Desert.
Never Be Alone first entered the Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 26 January 2024.
