Phoenix has reunited with Angèle and Kavinsky to unveil a studio version of “Nightcall,” following their acclaimed performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony. This new rendition pays homage to the iconic track originally written by Kavinsky in collaboration with Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, which gained fame through its prominent feature in the Drive soundtrack.
In this studio version, Angèle provides captivating vocals alongside Phoenix’s frontman Thomas Mars. The collaboration also marks a production effort between Phoenix and Kavinsky, blending their unique styles to create a fresh take on the classic.
The Olympics showcased Phoenix’s versatility, as they also joined forces with other artists like Air and Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend. However, it was their rendition of “Nightcall” that captured the spotlight, achieving remarkable popularity by breaking the record for the most Shazams in a single day, according to sources.
Fans eagerly anticipate this new release as it cements Phoenix’s reputation for innovative collaborations and musical excellence.
