Multi-platinum, GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, DJ and producer Zedd has released his new single “Good Thing” with GRAMMY® Award-nominated R&B sensation Kehlani today.

Zedd first announced the new single last Friday when he posted a teaser featuring the song’s opening staccato melody to much fanfare on social media.

“Good Thing” builds with Zedd’s percussive production as Kehlani delicately croons, “I’m good by myself, don’t need no one else, don’t tell me that you got a good thing for me, ‘cause I already got a good thing.”

Listen to “Good Thing” released via Interscope Records below.

“It’s been a while since I was THIS excited about a song. To me, “Good Thing” brings all of my musical influences together. It has elements of pop, jazz, electronic and even soul. It feels like a journey of all the genres of music I’ve made and enjoyed throughout my life,” shares ZEDD, “Getting to work on this song with Kehlani was incredible. She’s such an unbelievable talent and I’m so honoured we got to do this song together. “

“This record is special because I’ve always admired Zedd for his ability to breathe life into his art in such a fun way,” says Kehlani, “It’s a meaningful record but still extremely fun, and very, very me. Recording this was one of the most fun studio sessions I’ve had in a long time.”

The release of “Good Thing” comes as Zedd is currently embarking on the North American leg of his headlining world tour, The Orbit Tour (see below for remaining tour dates).

The Orbit Tour follows a massive year of live shows for Zedd which has also included playing the mainstage at Coachella in the spring, headlining Red Rocks in June, and the return of ZEDD IN THE PARK in Los Angeles earlier this month.

The North American leg of The Orbit Tour will wrap in October and then Zedd will bring the Orbit Tour across the Atlantic, marking Zedd’s return to tour Europe for the first time since his True Colors Tour in 2015 including his biggest ever UK headline show at Printworks in London.

ABOUT ZEDD: Multi-platinum, GRAMMY® award-winning artist, DJ, and producer Zedd made his debut with Clarity after signing with Interscope in 2012 and has been breaking down barriers surrounding music genres ever since. Zedd kicked off 2019 with his first single of the year, “365” with Katy Perry which Rolling Stone heralded as a “breezy” and “hypnotic.” “365” came on the heels of a massively successful 2018 which included teaming up with Shawn Mendes for a remix of “Lost In Japan,” his single “Happy Now” with Elley Duhé, and his monster hit, “The Middle” with Maren Morris and Grey. Zedd released “The Middle” in January 2018, which earned him his second #1 at Top 40 Radio. “The Middle” held the top spot at Top 40 Radio for seven weeks, was #1 at Hot AC Radio for five weeks, and spent 40 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Digitally, the song has amassed over 1 billion streams. In December 2018, Zedd received three GRAMMY® nominations for “The Middle,” including nominations for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Pop Duo or Group Performance. The three nominations made Zedd a five-time GRAMMY® nominee.

In 2017, Zedd released “Stay” with Alessia Cara, which held the #1 spot at Top 40 radio for six consecutive weeks and earned Zedd his second GRAMMY® nomination. In 2015, Zedd released True Colors, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Throughout his career, Zedd has worked with a diverse range of artists to create hits, including Hayley Williams on platinum hit “Stay The Night,” which racked up more than 400 million streams, and Selena Gomez on platinum track “I Want You To Know,” which spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

ABOUT KEHLANI: GRAMMY® Award-nominated critically acclaimed R&B pop songstress Kehlani caught the ears and hearts of many with 2015’s YOU SHOULD BE HERE earning her one of her first gold-certified singles, “The Way feat Chance The Rapper”, and a 2016 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Urban Contemporary Album.” At the top of 2017 Kehlani revealed her first full length debut album SWEETSEXYSAVAGE which ushered in the RIAA gold-certified singles “CRZY” and “Distraction.” Amidst her own solo success, she was seen contributing to 2017’s top soundtracks including the platinum certified SUICIDE SQUAD: THE ALBUM with her hit “Gangsta” which also earned platinum certification and THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS: THE ALBUM which introduced the certified gold “Good Life” with G Eazy. Kehlani earned widespread recognition as outlets including Rolling Stone, Complex and Billboard crowned SWEETSEXYSAVAGE as one of the “50 Best Albums of 2017 So Far.”

In October of 2017 she introduced “Honey” which quickly accumulated over 7 million streams worldwide. In the same month the young songstress partnered with Budweiser to unleash the chilling visual companion for “Touch” as a part of a content driven, worldwide campaign spanning across 17 countries. Kehlani has also been nominated for Best R&B/Soul Female Artist at the 2017 Soul Train Music Awards, Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist at the 2017 American Music Awards and also earned an honor at the 2017 Billboard Women In Music annual dinner and ceremony where she’ll be walking away with the “Rule Breaker” award. She’s also been seen on the road at popular festival stages including the Voodoo Music Festival and Corona Capital after successfully completing her massive, worldwide SWEETSEXYSAVAGE Tour.

Aside from the music, Kehlani has ventured off into the tech industry with her newest health and wellness startup, Flora. “Bridging the gap between my career, activism and my audience is important to me as a next step,” says Kehlani. “I look forward to creating positive change and making strides in tech.” Additionally, she’s embarked on her first artistic collaboration with Make Up Forever where she starred in their 2017 Aqua XL campaign visuals.
