Swedish House Mafia has returned and ahead of its upcoming Coachella appearance and the group’s first tour in 10 years, it has debuted “Redlight” featuring Sting.
“Redlight” samples The Police’s legendary song “Roxanne,” centering around the lyrics “You don’t have to put on the red light/Those days over/You don’t have to sell your body to the night/You don’t have to wear that dress to night/Those days are over.” Naturally, Sting — who was the frontman, songwriter and bassist for The Police — supplies vocals for “Redlight,” before Swedish House Mafia applies its usual dance-infused wizardry to the track.
The new song comes ahead of Swedish House Mafia’s sixth album Paradise Again, which sees the trio comprising of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso teaming up with Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake on “Lifetime,” The Weeknd on “Moth to a Flame,” and will also hear the club banger “It Gets Better.”
Listen to and watch the music video for “Redlight” above, and stream the new song now on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. Paradise Again will release via Republic Records on April 15 globally.
