Disco-Dance Single for James Arthur and Alok
It’s a new collaboration for multi-platinum UK-based singer-songwriter James Arthur. Arthur has joined forces with the #4 DJ in the world and Brazilian superstar, Alok, on the disco-dance track “Work With My Love.” Alok is known for his previous collaborations with artists Jason Derulo, Tove Lo, John Legend, and Ellie Goulding. The song has an addictive rhythm strong enough to get even the shyest soul out on the dance floor. The track was released to all streaming platforms on January 13th; an official music video for the track has been confirmed for the groovy track.
“Work With My Love” features the sample from “Lola’s Theme,” the 2004 hit by The Shapeshifters, which topped the UK charts and received a nomination for a Brit Award in 2005. Arthur and Alok work seamlessly with one another as James serenades listeners to “work with my love,” while Alok blends the perfect mix of disco and house sounds - keeping the song upbeat and dance-worthy.
The pair both expressed positive praise for one another:
“I’m a big fan of James’ style and had a great time making this track with him. Hope everyone enjoys it.”
“As soon as I heard the iconic sample . . . I was in and keen to be involved in the track. Alok and I have attempted to work together previously so I’m super happy we’ve managed to create this massive tune”
The 2023 single, “Work With my Love,” is the first single of the year for Alok, following a year of reigning success for the DJ. Alok was named the #1 DJ in Latin America and #4 DJ worldwide by DJ Mag in 2022. Additionally, Alok reached the top of the Billboard charts with “Deep Down” and global recognition for “All By Myself” with Ellie Goulding and Sigala.
Arthur is no stranger to global success, either. After winning the ninth season of The X Factor UK, Arthur has garnered over 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is currently the 97th most-streamed artist worldwide on the platform. With tracks such as “Naked,” “Train Wreck,” “Say You Won’t Let Go,” and “Rewrite The Stars” with Anne-Marie[The Greatest Showman: Reimagined], it’s not difficult to understand why listeners become immersed when Arthur begins to sing.
