R3HAB & Amy Shark Share Pop-Influenced House Single ‘Sway My Way’
Multi-Platinum producer R3HAB joins forces with Australian singer and songwriter Amy Shark for Sway My Way, an organic pop-influenced house take on Bic Runga's renowned song "Sway."
Out now via CYB3RPVNK, Sway My Way marks a creative departure from R3HAB's signature high-energy dance music style with a more laid-back feel. Riding on organic instrumentals and Shark's crystalline vocals, the two artists create a cathartic and emotive sonic energy that still pays homage to the original version. I am particularly fond of the tone of Amy Shark's gorgeous vocals and how they are wrapped around sun-soaked guitar riffs and steady beat that create an overall warm, laid-back atmosphere perfect for a relaxing summer's day by the beach. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, R3HAB said,
Every record reveals a new facet of the artist behind it. 'Sway My Way' might surprise some listeners, as it's got a more organic and stripped-back feel than many of my singles, but I love the dynamic it brings. Amy is an incredible artist and a pleasure to work with, and I'm so glad she helped me bring this song to life.
Amy Shark added,
I have a lot of family from New Zealand, so naturally I grew up loving Bic Runga, and her song 'Sway' was one that I loved so much. When R3HAB asked me to join him and put my spin on the song, I jumped at it.
