MEDUZA, Khalid – Weekend [Universal]
Meduza announce new single “Weekend” featuring vocals from Khalid. Grammy-nominated trio Meduza tackle the urgency of love on new single with multi-platinum selling vocalist Khalid. “Weekend” is a modern love song for the club scene; a sun-kissed groove underpins the laid-back deep house ambience as Khalid underscores the passion of a blossoming relationship. It’s a familiar feeling of compromise and being torn in different directions, something Italy’s biggest streaming act explore on “Weekend”, their latest single on Island Records.
Speaking about the production process, Meduza said: “working with Khalid was an incredible experience from start to finish. He’s the kind of artist who cares deeply about every detail, and watching that level of dedication in the studio was truly inspiring. At the same time, his natural talent made the creative process feel effortless. Getting the chance to write and create with one of your favorite artists is something you never take for granted, and it’s a memory we’ll carry with us forever. We both poured so much passion into this record, and we hope people can feel the honesty and emotion that went into every part of it.”
The powerful feeling of longing for Friday night is something that every clubber recognises, and in “Weekend” it’s brought to life by Khalid’s inimitable vocals. The follow up to “Don’t Wanna Go Home” is Meduza’s fifth single of the year – a demonstration that with almost 20 billion streams to their name, the trio have become a worldwide phenomenon since their 2019 debut “Piece of Your Heart”. An act with multiple chart hits and platinum records, their signature sound captivates audiences from nightclubs to mainstages, and has created an insatiable demand across major festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC and Coachella as well as headline residencies in Las Vegas, and Ibiza.
With an attention to detail that has helped amplify their records worldwide, Meduza approach their productions with care and energy that resonates with audiences in a meaningful way – hooks become unforgettable earworms, lyrics become reminders of shared moments.
