GRAMMY-nominated artist Alesso has just dropped his new single ‘Midnight’ ft. Liam Payne via 10:22pm/Capitol/Astralwerks. The vivacious track has a slow and steady build with Liam Payne singing about love leading into Alesso’s triumphed melody. The track radiates a confident and uplifting feeling. Liam Payne’s rasp-filled vocals breathe life into the record that complements Alesso’s production knack for crafting energetic and emotive feelgood music.
“During these difficult times Liam and I hope this song can bring some light” says Alesso.
The performance video was shot during quarantine and provides an intimate look at both artists in their element.

Alesso resides mixing and producing the record in LA and Liam Payne is performing the track on his rooftop in London overlooking the city and its sunset. The performance video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, mtvU, MTV International and on the Viacom Times Square billboard.
