John Newman, owner of one of the most distinctive voices, writer and performer of some of the biggest anthems (including 3 number 1 singles) and one of the major breakthrough artists in the UK in recent years, follows his recent Sigala / Nile Rodgers collaboration with his brand new single “Olé”. Give it a listen over on Pitchfork, or stream below.

This future smash, written and produced by friend and regular creative partner Calvin Harris, is like nothing John or Calvin has done before. The very definition of earworm, “Olé” is one of those rare songs that, once heard, remains lodged in your brain and you find yourself singing over and over again.

John has been back in the public eye, on both sides of the Atlantic, with a headlining performance at Coachella alongside Calvin (& Rihanna) where they performed their number 1 hit “Blame”, and an appearance at Capital Summertime Ball with Sigala for a live outing of “Give Me Your Love”.

“Olé” marks the beginning of a flurry of new music from John, who has been busy in the studio writing and recording new music following the release of 2015’s acclaimed “Revolve” album, which was the follow-up to his platinum selling no. 1 debut album “Tribute”. Both albums and attendant hit singles including “Love Me Again” and “Come & Get It” established the Yorkshire-man as one of the UK’s most singular talents and consistently successful artists.

Global smash “Blame”, which has sold over 4 million worldwide gave John his third UK no. 1 single following Rudimental’s “Feel The Love” and his own chart-topping debut ”Love Me Again”. Indeed Newman has sold over 6 million singles world-wide to date.

Vevo/Youtube video plays stand at a rudely healthy 380 million, while John’s social stats are equally impressive with almost 1.9 million fans on Facebook, 400k Twitter followers and over 220k followers on Instagram.

Expect to see plenty of John in the coming months and to be humming/singing/whistling “Olé” involuntarily.
