LIFTED FROM JOEL’S FORTHCOMING DEBUT ALBUM‘ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT’
OUT OCTOBER 6 VIAASYLUM / ATLANTIC RECORDS
PRE-ORDER ‘ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT’ HERE
Following the announcement of his debut album, ‘Another Friday Night’, Joel Corry has teamed up with legendary DJ/producer, MK, and internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Rita Ora on new single, ‘Drinkin’ – listen HERE.
Performed live by Joel and Rita – fresh from releasing her latest UK Top 10 album, ‘You & I’, in July – at Joel’s Ibiza Rocks Residency show last Wednesday, ‘Drinkin’ forms the first taste of new material to feature on his forthcoming debut LP, ‘Another Friday Night’.
Produced alongside MK – an artist Joel credits as one of his biggest inspirations – ‘Drinkin’ also follows the UK Top 10 success of ‘0800 HEAVEN’ alongside Nathan Dawe & Ella Henderson, as well as Joel’s recent dancefloor excursions with Billen Ted (‘Do U Want Me Baby? ft. Elphi), Caity Baser (‘Dance Around It’) and Icona Pop & Rain Radio (‘Desire’).
Sampling Chance The Rapper’s ‘All Night’, ‘Drinkin’ taps the classic Joel Corry sound – warm, bubbling chords, bright, infectious vocals and solid peak-time grooves – to land as a single that feels every bit a dance anthem in-waiting.
“Drinkin is the late summer 2023 banger we needed”, explains Joel. “As soon as I first flipped the ‘All Night’ sample, it instantly felt like a smash and collaborating with MK is a dream for me. I’ve been a big fan for years and he’s been a huge inspiration to me throughout my career. The icing on the cake was the incredible Rita Ora laying down the vocals. We’ve been friends for a while and we were waiting for the right track to collaborate on. ‘Drinkin’ feels like exactly that!”
