Alesso’s latest single, “Lonely Heart,” emerges with more than just a beat to move to—it’s a journey into a deeper, tech house dimension under his new Body Hi alias.
The track is a reimagined take on Yes’ 1983 hit, “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” and marks a transformative shift for the Swedish dance music superstar, incorporating a sleek, minimalistic rhythm that draws us into its groove-inducing orbit. Body Hi was introduced live to fans with a special DJ set at this year’s Do LaB stage at Coachella.
The new single embodies themes of connection and authenticity, inviting listeners to live their truth on the dancefloor. With John Alto lending his vocals, Alesso reshapes the familiar tune, breathing into it a longing that echoes through layers of atmospheric production. Psychedelic risers elevate Alto’s voice to the rafters, layered over a tight house groove laced with magnetic synth stabs.
The track’s mantra “move yourself” echoes the call to dive headfirst into rhythm and collective dance. With minimal vocal chops and stadium reverb, the track’s arrangement reflects Alesso’s love for four-on-the-floor beats. Body Hi serves as his outlet for this house-heavy, introspective production, offering a stark contrast to the anthemic and expansive crescendos that have made him a mainstay on the world’s biggest stages for over a decade.
