Two-time BRIT Award winner Becky Hill has returned with “Side Effects,” her first new solo song in over a year. The infectious track finds her examining the “side effects” of a past relationship that thwart her efforts to move on. Driven by powerful, soulful vocals, the track was written with friend and key collaborator, Lewis Thompson with whom she has a prolific creative partnership (the pair previously co-writing Becky’s huge hit with David Guetta “Remember” and “Crazy What Love Can Do” also with David Guetta and Ella Henderson) plus producer Jon Shave and long-term collaborators, Karen Poole and MNEK, who also provides backing vocals. Listen to the track now below.
“I haven’t released a solo record in over a year, so coming out the door after a second BRIT win feels very exciting!” says Becky Hill. “I’m playing the UK’s best festivals this year and I can’t wait for people to have a new song to sing along with me. ‘Side Effects’ has been made with my favourite people in the industry and this one really feels like the beginning of my new chapter in my artistry. Album two here we come.”
The stunning official video, which was directed by KC Locke (David Guetta, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy), follows Hill on an epic journey of escape from the lingering side effects of a toxic relationship.
Hill will be playing numerous summer festivals, including Outside Lands in the U.S., Creamfields South and Glastonbury in the UK and Lollapalooza Stockholm. Her 2022 U.S. headline tour was completely sold out and she’s also performed at numerous festivals stateside. LADYGUNN hailed Hill as one of the Best Female Acts at Life Is Beautiful 2022 and Rolling Stone noted, “Becky Hill was her own disco ball as she kept the crowd dancing through her set.” In recent months, she’s played Ultra Miami, CRSSD Festival and M3F Festival.
