Naughty Boy teams up with Emeli Sandé and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in a new track - 'Bungee Jumping'
The song precedes Naughty Boy’s new album set for release in autumn 2019.
The concept for 'Bungee Jumping' originated after a game that Naughty and Emeli played where they attempted to write a song about the most random thing that came into their heads.
Naughty Boy has always been a fan of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s music.
Naughty Boy said, “This is what dreams are made of, especially for a producer, for someone who's grown up with Pakistani music, with Qawwali music, with ghazals and with Western music as well. It's a dream come true for me to be able to bring this collaboration together...because my heart is in Pakistan, and here.
Emeli said, “It was wonderful to be back in the studio with naughty boy again, this song came to life so naturally.
"It's a great honour to duet with Rahat and we really hope the message of bravery in both love and in life will resonate with those who hear it.”
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan adds, “It is a great experience to work with Naughty Boy on a collaboration. I was impressed with the vocals of Emeli Sandé. The track has a lot of depth and I’m looking forward to the release of the song."
'Bungee Jumping' is another exciting song to add to the 3 time Brit nominee’s incredible discography, which now boasts over 2.7 billion global streams, 3 million singles in the UK alone, including the number one smash hit “La La La”, featuring Sam Smith, and his beautiful multi-million streaming collaboration with Arrow Benjamin and musical icon Beyoncé, “Runnin’ (Lose It All)”.
Naughty Boy will next year release his second album, the follow-up to 2013’s critically acclaimed debut Hotel Cabana (top #2 in the UK) set to drop in Autumn 2019.
