R3HAB Releases Organic, Pop-Influenced House Single ‘Sway My Way’ With Amy Shark!

Multi-Platinum producer R3HAB joins forces with one of Australia‘s most formidable singers/songwriters Amy Shark for “Sway My Way,” an organic take on Bic Runga‘s renowned song “Sway.” The new single marks a creative departure from R3HAB‘s signature high-energy dance music style with a more laid-back feel. Riding on organic instrumentals and Shark‘s crystalline vocals, the two artists create a cathartic and emotive sonic energy that still pays homage to the original version. “Sway My Way” follows R3HAB‘s recent bilingual release “Turn The Lights Down Low” with Timmy Trumpet and Chinese singer NINEONE#.

“Every record reveals a new facet of the artist behind it. ‘Sway My Way‘ might surprise some listeners, as it’s got a more organic and stripped-back feel than many of my singles, but I love the dynamic it brings. Amy is an incredible artist and a pleasure to work with, and I’m so glad she helped me bring this song to life.” – R3HAB

“I have a lot of family from New Zealand, so naturally I grew up loving Bic Runga, and her song ‘Sway‘ was one that I loved so much. When R3HAB asked me to join him and put my spin on the song, I jumped at it.” – Amy Shark
