Jess Glynne, Too Many Zooz & KDA 'So Real (Warriors)' Out Now

Named Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World, a favourite with BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Pete Tong, Danny Howard and MistaJamracking up over 50 plays on the station, as well the official song of Gay Pride 2018, Too Many Zooz & KDA's Warriors is an empowerment anthem that's branched out from the clubs into the public consciousness. Now, Grammy award winner Jess Glynne adds fresh vocals to the record on So Real (Warriors).

So Real (Warriors) is the perfect crossover and looks to be the latest success story from Ministry of Sound, renowned for their ability to match the hottest dance music producers with the world's biggest pop stars. Here, Jess Glynne's vibrant vocals are matched effortlessly with the energetic Too Many Zooz vs KDA instrumental version, creating a sure-fire pop-dance hit that's built on a brass house backbone.

New York three-piece Too Many Zooz are no strangers to working with the most powerful women in music, being seen by Beyoncé, who drafted them in to collaborate on her Lemonade album thanks to their viral busking videos. Taking their "brass house" sound from the subway to the world, they also caught the ear of London-based record producer KDA who reworked their track Warriors.

KDA has a history of crafting club records that go on to be pop hits. His previous dance anthem Turn The Music Louder (Rumble) with Tinie Tempah & Katy became a Platinum certified UK #1 single. Seeing an opportunity to blend Too Many Zooz's incredible energy with his unique take on dance music, KDA's version of Warriors was born and now looks to follow in the footsteps of his previous crossover success.

Jess Glynne's involvement simply underlines the power of this collaborative record. An artist who's not afraid to be herself, and in doing so has achieved 7 UK #1 singles - more than any other British woman - Jess Glynne has her pick of projects. On So Real (Warriors) she draws on her previous pop-dance hits to create an uplifting record that's set to bring people together as it conquers the charts.
