Inspired by the 1983 film Flashdance’, Dua Lipa’s ‘Physical’ was one of 2020’s biggest hits, having been nominated for Song of the Year at the 2021 Brit Awards while appearing on numerous 2020 year-end lists and reaching the top 10 of various charts globally. Now, just as summer season kicks into full gear, Oliver Heldens offers his peak-time cover of the track.
Oliver’s successful career really started after Tiësto picked up his 2013 single ‘Gecko’, which became his major breakthrough track. Pete Tong’s Warner Music Group imprint, FFRR, subsequently licensed it and took it to the #1 spot in the UK Official Chart with a vocal from Becky Hill, culminating in Double Platinum sales.
His remix of ‘Physical’ is far from a pedestrian rework as he makes the track his own, building a driving instrumental groove around Dua Lipa’s lyrics.
Oliver Heldens ‘Physical’ is available now.
