Released today by Astralwerks, Disconnect” is available for download / streaming BELOW. Hill and the legendary UK duo wrote the track with Emily Makis, Karen Poole and Kieron McIntosh.

Becky says, “A decade on from ‘Afterglow’ and I honestly didn’t think that I’d be able to do it again, but I have never been more excited about a drum ‘n’ bass tune like I am about ‘Disconnect.’ It’s a true dance floor record that tows the line between the rave and the radio, and to be working with the likes of Chase & Status, who I have dreamed of working with since I was a teenager, is a real moment for me. It’s been going off at festivals over the last few months and I can’t wait for everyone to have it for themselves. I’m so proud of this one.”

Chase & Status are one of the most successful British bands of the last decade. Consummate professionals at every level, Will Kennard and Saul Milton are contemporary vanguards of UK electronic music, merging influences from UK rave, sound system culture, hip hop, RnB, grime, punk and a myriad of other musical styles.

Plan B) and “Mixed Emotions” (ft. Clementine Douglas).

(Death Of Auto-Tune).” The duo is currently on the road, playing festivals around the world.

Hill, who completed a sold-out tour of the U.S. last fall (her first), will return to the States for Outside Lands and a trio of headline shows. She’ll be playing The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles (August 10), The Royale in Boston (October 5) and New York City’s Brooklyn Steel (October 6). Tickets are available BELOW.

Billboard said, “A wondrous dance song like ‘Side Effects’ isn’t the least bit surprising when considering Becky Hill’s track record: the UK house mainstay has been scoring hits for nearly a decade, and her voice is pristinely attuned to this type of kinetic energy.” EUPHORIA. Magazine noted, “‘Side Effects’ is about the lingering feelings we have after a breakup…wonderfully delivered with Hill’s powerful and soulful vocals, which is something that she has been widely praised for.” Popdust marveled, “If there’s one thing guaranteed about Becky Hill: it’s that she will make a dance club banger.”

Described by David Guetta as “one of the very rare queens of dance of music,” Hill won back-to-back BRIT Awards in 2022 and 2023 for Best Dance Act. She charted four No. 1 hits at U.S. dance radio in 2022: “Run” with Galantis – praised by MTV News as an “uplifting and free track” – “Crazy What Love Can Do” with David Guetta and Ella Henderson, “History” with Joel Corry and “Words.”
