ROYEL OTIS Release Cover Of Sophie Ellis Bexter's 'Murder On The Dancefloor'

Sydney duo Royel Otis are continuing to conquer 2024 with their stunning live version of Sophie Ellis Bexters' “Murder on the Dancefloor” having a global viral moment.

The iconic throwback smash hit is having a real comeback moment thanks to Saltburn and Royel Otis' cover of the song for triple j's Like A Version is exactly what we need. It's already been viewed over 10 million times across Youtube and TikTok and will be available on DSP's today. 

Their album PRATTS & PAIN is out February 16th and is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated debut albums of the year with GRAMMY.com and Consequence both calling out the band as a 2024 artist to watch. Their new single “Velvet” is making waves following the previously announced “Adored”, “Fried Rice” and “Heading For The Door.” 

Their last release, the Sofa King EP's title track peaked at #25 on the Billboard US Alternative radio charts and is currently sitting at #27. The EP also features hit singles “Kool Aid”, “Sofa King”, “Going Kokomo” and “I Wanna Dance With You.”
