Brazilian superstar and #4 DJ in the world Alok, known for colossal collaborations with John Legend, Jason Derulo, Tove Lo, and Ellie Goulding, has joined forces with multi-platinum singer/songwriter James Arthur to release their new dance single, “Work With My Love.” The disco-inspired house track is guaranteed to get feet moving, hips swaying, and heads rocking.
Music fans around the world may feel some nostalgia from the sample used in “Work With My Love;” recognizing it from having also been used in The Shapeshifters’ 2004 hit “Lola’s Theme,” which topped the UK singles charts and was nominated for "Best British Single" at the 2005 Brit Awards. The muffled disco horn sample crescendos into James’s silky, soulful voice, as he croons about an impossible love. Alok’s masterfully constructed disco and house sounds keeps the track modern and fresh while the retro brass motif lays a consistent foundation in the background that ties all the sounds together. The high hats give it an uplifted, light quality, and energized feel, while low synth notes keep the beat grounded and groovy. As James repeatedly asks “Can you work with my love,” he invites us to compromise and meet halfway on the dance floor of life.
LYRICS
My love is impossible
So hard to control (ah ah ah)
My heart is a beautiful kinda wrecking ball (ah ah ah)
I know I get a little bit crazy
Out of my head yeah maybe it’s too much (too much)
But if you really wanna be with me
You go-otta handle all that I got
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
I know it’s a wild ride
But its worth the fight ( i i i)
Oooh if you hold on tight
We can rule the night (oh oh oh)
