Multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and dance music legend Crystal Waters returns with “You & Me”, a powerhouse collaboration with Stockholm and London-based duo ManyFew, dropping March 21st. A radiant, instant-classic house anthem, it drives forward with a four-on-the-floor beat and deep, pulsing bass—an electrifying tribute to love’s all-consuming rush. Waters’ unmistakable, soulful vocals take center stage as she proclaims, “This time, love has got me blind / Now there’s no one else in the world / There’s only you and me.” Bursting with infectious energy and timeless appeal, “You & Me” is set to unite audiences across dance floors around the globe.
Waters shares, “I’ve been working on my album for the past year, and I’m excited to present my first single! Working with ManyFew has given me the sound and direction I so wanted this project to take. It has some of the classic House sounds but with a new modern edge.”
ManyFew exclaims, “We’re absolutely buzzing to unleash ‘You & Me’ with the legendary Crystal Waters! Diving into this project has been such a joy and we’ve poured our hearts into creating something special and are so excited to finally share it with you all!”
