The Joel Corry Remix is available now
Elton John and Britney Spears have released the first official remix of their chart-topping smash-hit, “Hold Me Closer.” Working his magic on the already infectious dance anthem, renowned English DJ and Producer Joel Corry adds his quintessential touch of euphoria to the track, thus creating an irresistible, heart-thumping dance floor anthem built for big moments, on big stages. Corry surprised fans at his final Ushuaia and Ibiza Rocks show last week with the remix debut. To no surprise, the crowd went wild for the track.
Most recently, the duo released the official music video for the track. Award-winning director Tanu Muino brought the song to life as the video fittingly portrays stunning visuals of intimate dance throughout a vibrant Mexico City exploding with color. The perfect accompaniment to the song’s far-flung and dreamy lyrics, the choreography encapsulates some of the most heartfelt human emotions, with gorgeous and delicate movements that effortlessly embody human embrace, while beautifully capturing an immeasurable feeling of intimacy so missing from the world today.
Debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, “Hold Me Closer” finds two of the most iconic artists of all time come together for the first time ever on record. As predicted, the song topped the charts providing John with his tenth Top 10 hit and Spears’ first in almost ten years. The record has also climbed to No. 1 in Australia and Canada, No. 3 in the UK, and most notably No. 1 on iTunes in over 40 countries worldwide upon release. The song, produced by Andrew Watt, is a refreshing contemporary twist on one of Elton John’s most iconic hits, “Tiny Dancer,” which also features elements of other classic songs from his legendary catalog including, “The One,” and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”
