Alesso releases remix package of hit single ‘Words’ featuring Zara Larsson

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). 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.

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.
