Stripped version is available now
The UK’s star-in-waiting Cat Burns and multi-award-winning artist Sam Smith have partnered for a special, stripped-back duet of Burns’ viral single “Go,” available now via Sony Music UK/RCA Records.
The duet flaunts each artist’s incredible vocal abilities, while Smith’s signature songwriting style offers a fresh perspective to the South London artist’s BRIT certified gold single. Smith and Burns recently previewed their version of “Go” to fans and onlookers with a special performance at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park.
“I came across Cat’s music earlier this year, and I was immediately moved and refreshed by her honesty, incredible technique, and delivery as a vocalist,” Smith shares. “I am so thankful to be a very small part of this special song and moment. Cat is a gift to us all.”
“What an honor and pleasure it was to work with Sam!” Burns adds. “[Smith] were super lovely and added an extra level of special to the song, which is clear to hear!”
Breaking into the Official Charts in the UK for the first time in her career, “Go” has become a permanent fixture in the Top 5 on the Official Singles Chart for a total of 11 weeks. The song serves as the lead single off Burns’ recently released six-track EP, Emotionally Unavailable, which explores the complex feelings when going through the ebb and flows of mental health journeys, friendships, commitment, and abandonment issues – topics that are close to the lyricist’s heart.
