New York-based producer Will Sass has teamed up with artist Aluna and legendary hitmaker Timbaland for their much-anticipated new single, ‘House Boy,’ debuting on March 20th via Aluna’s Noir Fever record label in collaboration with EMPIRE. The creative spark for the song ignited during a studio session in Los Angeles, where Sass and Aluna found a mutual artistic flow, later inviting Timbaland to elevate the collaboration. This partnership perfectly merges established names with fresh talent in the dance and pop genres.
‘House Boy’ Provides a Great Avenue for Talented Musicians to Showcase Their Wonderful Musical Production Skills
The track, produced by Will Sass, Aluna, Timbaland, Larrance Dopson, and HORICHH, is characterized by a lively house groove that invites listeners to the dance floor. Aluna’s ethereal vocals glide seamlessly over Sass’s polished production, while Timbaland’s iconic rhythmic elements inject an energizing beat. This release represents a significant milestone for Sass, who has rapidly gained traction in the global dance music arena. His previous single, ‘Into The Blue’, ascended to No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Radio chart for three weeks and garnered over 4.5 million streams shortly after its debut.
Partnering with heavyweight artists such as Aluna and Timbaland further solidifies Sass’s standing in today’s multifaceted music landscape. Aluna garnered initial acclaim as one half of the duo AlunaGeorge, a group known for its major influence on UK electronic pop. Now, as a solo artist and advocate, she has launched Noir Fever in 2023, aiming to support Black dance music and amplify the voices of Black women and LGBTQ+ artists.
The Track is Perfect for Everyone Who Loves to Dance
‘House Boy’ embodies Noir Fever’s mission by highlighting collaborations among artists from diverse backgrounds, all united by a shared love for the dance floor. Timbaland’s storied career—boasting hits with iconic artists like Aaliyah and Beyoncé—adds layers of depth to this track. Here, he delves into the realm of house music, artfully melding his signature style with the fresh sounds brought forth by upcoming producers.
