Global music superstar Alesso expands the sonic world of his hit single ‘Words’ featuring fellow Swedish pop star Zara Larsson with a massive ‘Words’ remix package, out now via 10:22PM / Astralwerks (Positiva/EMI in the UK). Listen to the remixes here. The new EP boasts reworked tracks from artists including Chapter & Verse, Sentinel, Arodes, and Majestic, plus Alesso’s very own VIP remix. The Swedish duo performed ‘Words’ together for the first time at the recent Creamfields festival in the UK. Watch the video below.

Building on the original version of ‘Words’ – a dreamy, progressive house anthem about being afraid to say “I love you” – Alesso’s chosen remixers showcase a variety of styles and sounds. Beyond the previously released Majestic and VIP mixes, the UK’s DJ Chapter & Verse picks up the groove with a bumping tech house take, while Spanish producer Arodes goes for a progressive house vibe with layers of mellow, sultry percussion. Australian trio Sentinel, meanwhile, get delightfully weird with distorted synths and hard-hitting hooks.

The ‘Words’ remix package follows Alesso’s recent single ‘In My Feelings’, a seductive yet brooding collaboration with Deniz Koyu. This year, he also released the Sentinel-assisted progressive house anthem ‘Only You’ and ‘Dark’, a moody and kinetic piece made especially for the film, ‘THE BATMAN’. ‘Words’ has already amassed over 135 million streams, charted in over 17 countries, and hit Number 1 on U.S. dance radio marking back-to-back Number 1s for Alesso following ‘When I’m Gone’. Recently ‘Words’ debuted on Spotify’s Global 200 chart and dropped months after the GRAMMY®-nominated artist teamed up with Katy Perry for ‘When I’m Gone’, an irresistibly explosive track that saw him make his Saturday Night Live debut.

Outside of the studio, Alesso is deep into a new multi-year residency at TAO Las Vegas while joining Bad Bunny’s World’s Hottest Tour across multiple North American dates.

The ‘Words’ remixes tracklist in full is -
1. Chapter & Verse Remix
2. Sentinel Remix
3. Arodes Remix
4. Majestic Remix
5. Alesso VIP remix

About

ABOUT ALESSO:</b.
A global maverick in the dance world, Alesso has repeatedly proven that his influence transcends boundaries and crosses over into countless genres — to that end, he’s collaborated with such eclectic artists as OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Calvin Harris, Tove Lo, Liam Payne, James Bay, Marshmello, Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso, Hailee Steinfeld, Florida Georgia Line, Anitta, and more. With his past hits including the platinum-certified ‘If I Lose Myself’ and gold-certified ‘Under Control’, the Swedish native has also found major success with ‘Calling (Lose My Mind)’, which topped the Billboard US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. On Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, his massive breakup anthem ‘Let Me Go’ — a collaboration with Hailee Steinfeld and Florida Georgia Line — reached No. 9, while ‘Is That For Me’ peaked at No. 25.

In 2020, Alesso released a pair of hit singles: ‘Midnight’ featuring former One Direction member Liam Payne, and ‘THE END’ with goth-pop singer/songwriter Charlotte Lawrence. He also had an explosive 2021, releasing a slew of records: kicking off with his East Asia fueled “Going Dumb (with Stray Kids & CORSAK),” he later closed the chapter to his PROGRESSO series with PROGRESSO VOL 2. Alesso next delivered his cosmic love ballad “Chasing Stars (with Marshmello feat. James Bay),” the dynamic “Rescue Me (with Danna Paola)” from the Blade Runner Black Lotus soundtrack, and his highly-anticipated winter floor-filler “Somebody To Use.” To cap off a monumental year, he made his NFT debut with the Cosmic Genesis collection and then ended 2021 on a bang with ‘When I’m Gone’ — his colossal collaboration with Katy Perry, primed to usher in an even greater 2022. To date, Alesso has performed at international festivals ranging from Tomorrowland to Ultra Music Festival to Electric Daisy Carnival, with his national TV experience including closing out GMA’s Summer Concert Series, performing on ‘The Late Show with James Corden’, taking the stage at the AMAs and making his ‘Saturday Night Live’ debut in January 2022 with Katy Perry.

ABOUT ZARA LARSSON:
All women have superpowers. Wielding those superpowers, Zara Larsson provokes and pushes pop music and culture forward with empowered, enlightened and energised anthems that soar and seduce all at once. With every move, she continues to quietly make history and break records: her RIAA platinum-certified 2017 full-length, So Good, notably stands out as the second-most-streamed debut on Spotify by a female artist ever. Zara's growing catalogue boasts one smash after another, including the triple-platinum 'Never Forget You' with MNEK, the platinum 'Lush Life' and 'Ain’t My Fault', as well as unstoppable Clean Bandit collaboration 'Symphony'. Along the way, she has received various awards and honors at the Swedish Grammy Awards, Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, MTV EMAs, and even graced the stage of the Nobel Peace Prize concert. 2020's second international album, Poster Girl, featured breakout hits 'Ruin My Life', 'Wow', and saw Zara make further strides towards pop's top table working alongside the likes of Max Martin and Young Thug. Launched entirely in lockdown, the project has surpassed one billion streams, seen Zara perform virtually for Roblox and host a spectacular show in partnership with fellow Swedish icons Ikea on International Women's Day, before playing a sold-out European arena tour. "One of pop's biggest and outspoken stars" (The Guardian), watch out for more from Zara Larsson coming soon.
