Kygo has a history of reviving old songs. They’re not quite slap house, genre-wise, but in soul they share a lot of similarities. He has released updated covers of songs by Donna Summer, Whitney Houston and Tina Turner in the past. Today’s release brings “Say Say Say,” the 1983 collaboration between Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson to life.
Speaking on the release, Kygo said, “I am absolutely honored to be working on a song that was composed by two of the greatest musical legends of all time. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson meant a lot to me as an artist and I’ve listened to their music since I was a kid. It was a dream of mine to collaborate with these iconic artists and I hope everyone enjoys the song as much as I do.
This marks the first glimpse of new music from Kygo in 2023 and follows the release of his fourth studio album, thrill of the huntlast fall.
Kygo will play its biggest UK flagship show to date on Saturday August 12e2023, at London Gunnersbury Park. To buy tickets, go to HERE.
