British hitmaker Sigala makes his long-awaited return to planet pop in a MAJOR today (October 3rd), fusing global sounds with his signature dancefloor energy, and we are OBSESSED! The DJ and producer has tapped Leigh-Anne, and acclaimed Canadian vocalist Jonita for his latest single, ‘Hello’ which is out now globally via Ministry of Sound.
True to Sigala’s trademark feel-good production, the super infectious track blends bold, shimmering Afro-house beats with an irresistible pop hook, while Leigh-Anne and Jonita trade formidable vocals that burst with tone, texture and versatility.
Speaking ahead of the singles release, Sigala said of the collaboration to two of musics biggest tastemakers: “I’m so excited for the fans to hear what I’ve been cooking up in the studio these past few months, kicking things off with my new track ‘Hello’. I love collaborating with other artists and it feels perfect to have a superstar like Leigh-Anne and one of India’s biggest talents Jonita on this one with me — we had such a vibe creating this song and working together on the fun visualiser.”
Sharing her thoughts on the track Leigh-Anne says via a press release today: “It might be an unexpected collaboration, but I think that’s exactly what makes this track so unique We all bring something different to the table, different genres, different vibes and it just works. Working with Sigala and Jonita was such a vibe. I love Jonita’s energy, and hanging out with Sigala throughout the process was fun.“
With Jonita adding: “‘Hello’ is such a fun, feel-good song, and I collaborated with Sigala and Leigh-Anne on this track completely remotely, which reminds me that music can bring people together no matter where we come from. For me, it’s all about joy and connection, and I’m so grateful I get to contribute a bit of my own personality in something that feels so universal.”
The release arrives with a stunning, exotic inspired visualiser, setting the stage for what feels like another late-night festival anthem from Sigala, who’s no stranger to chart-topping collaborations with the likes of Ella Eyre, Paloma Faith, and Becky Hill. For Leigh-Anne, the track continues her post-Little Mix evolution, while Jonita— known for her crossover work in Bollywood and global pop — steps into a spotlight primed for international recognition.
