Rita Ora & Sam Feldt Release 'Follow Me' Single

In a truly star-studded affair, global superstar Rita Ora joins forces with Dutch music legend Sam Feldt for their new single 'Follow Me', co-penned by Ella Henderson on Kygo's Palm Tree Records.

A stunning collaboration between the headline artists, 'Follow Me' sees Ora's distinctive, golden vocals beckon fans deep into the heart of Feldt's trademark uplifting production. Gently padded percussion in the lower ends and rising rivulets of euphoric piano and instrumental chords provide a beautiful backdrop for Ora to soar across, her voice gifting the single real warmth and depth.

Sam Feldt spoke about the single whilst on set for the official video, filmed in Los Angeles by Kygo's go-to film director Johannes Lovund: "For me, 'Follow Me' is all about being there for a special someone, and sticking with them even when times get tough. Working with Rita on this one was a dream come true. I've been a fan of her voice and work for a long time, so I love the fact we were finally able to do a song together. The whole process, from writing the song to filming the music video in the California desert, was so much fun and I hope this resonates in the track for the listener!"

"Dance music has always had a special place in my heart, so being able to work with Sam on 'Follow Me' has been fantastic. He is such a legend, and it's been an honour to work with him on this track," states Rita. Adding, "This song serves as a reminder for us to surround ourselves with people who build us up and stay by our side, especially in times when we feel things are falling apart. I cannot wait for the fans to hear it and see the gorgeous video we have made!"

RANI)', Sam Feldt has conquered the world of dance music. Performing at the world's biggest clubs and festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Creamfields and the legendary Coachella, he now has his sights set firmly on the international pop market. After working with Kesha on their 2020 hit 'Stronger' and more recently Sam Fischer on 'Pick Me Up', 'Follow Me' will see the Dutch star become one of the most in-demand music producers of pop-dance crossovers.
