ON POP RADIO CHARTS AND #2 MOST SHAZAMED SONG IN THE U.S.

DEBUT ALBUM HOTEL CABANA FEATURING EMELI SANDÉ, BASTILLE,

WIZ KHALIFA, ED SHEERAN AND MORE OUT MAY 6 ON CAPITOL RECORDS

 

LOS ANGELES, CA — Naughty Boy’s undeniably infectious “La La La” has been blowing up the airwaves – both radio and television – and officially lands in the Top 10 on Pop radio charts this week. The smash debut single from Hotel Cabana, out May 6 on Capitol Records, features vocals by Sam Smith and is mimicking its impressive trajectory overseas, now here in the States. The song climbed all the way to No.1 on iTunes in 43 countries and Top 10 on iTunes in 83 countries. The video has surpassed an astonishing 300 million views to date, and grows daily.

Naughty Boy recently made a stop in New York to perform the platinum-selling single with Sam Smith to a hefty crowd in the outdoor plaza of the “Today” show. Later that night, they stopped by the “Late Show With David Letterman” and replicated their awesome performance.

The astonishing success of Shahid “Naughty Boy” Khan shows no signs of slowing down. He just dropped a new single,“Home,” featuring newcomer ROMANS, that can easily follow the foundations so far built by “La La La.” Switching the pace from upbeat dance to laidback groove, the string-filled gospel-inflected number manages to be both contemplative and joyous. “Home” features the soulful, scale-climbing vocal of London-based ROMANS, a multi-talented singer, songwriter and producer who has worked with Rihanna, DJ Mustard, Kwabs and Stargate, amongst others, and who will release his own project on Roc Nation in the near future.

Working with brand new talent is typical of Naughty Boy, who has spotted future stars among Emeli Sandé, Sam Smith,Tinie Tempah, and Ella Eyre, to name a few. As well as helping to craft the careers of newcomers, Naughty Boy is one of pop music’s most-in demand composers, having worked with everyone from Rihanna to Lily Allen and is currently in the studio with One Direction. Khan was also the co-producer of Sande’s Our Version of Events, which was the biggest selling album of 2012 and, incredibly, the second best-selling album of 2013.
