The Ramona Flowers have shared a series of remixes of their infectious single 'Up All Night', featuring the legendary Nile Rodgers.
The four track EP includes the original song – released in 2022 on the EP Gotta Get Home – a stripped back version and remixes from French electro pop duo The Ninety2 and Italian trio Room9. The original is filled with tuneful melodies, Nile’s signature guitar sound and disco beats, and quickly became one of the group’s most successful singles and their biggest streaming song ever, with over a million streams combined. The song charted at #25 in the top 40 New Music chart in the US, staying there for four weeks.
The track’s continued success is in no small part down to ‘Up All Night’ being featured on the NBA 2k24 video game soundtrack. The band said regarding the announcement of the track featuring in the soundtrack last year that: “We are so excited to have been included on the soundtrack for NBA 2K24. The game is an iconic title within the world of gaming and Esports and we’re proud to have been made a small part of the history of the franchise.”
Listen to ‘Up All Night – The Ninety2 Remix (feat. Nile Rodgers)’ by The Ramona Flowers on the Sport Playlists – Basketball Anthems Playlist on Spotify.
The band continued: “It’s slightly surreal and more than a little humbling, having grown up listening to and discovering acts through this game and others like it. They’re acts that have gone on to influence our own music and be the soundtrack to our own lives. We’d just like to thank the team at NBA 2K24 for making it all happen.”
The track’s addition to the playlist followed on from what had been an exciting and busy year for the Bristol four-piece. Their latest EP, Hey You was released earlier this year and included singles, ‘Enter The Room’ and title track. They also treated fans to an additional, stand alone single ‘Nothing More To Worry About’.
Known for their live performances, The Ramona Flowers spent much of 2023 touring, including the UK with Reverend and the Makers as well as a sold out run of shows across the US and EU with Circa Waves. Previously they have also had a 10-date support slot with The Libertines on their Up The Bracket 20th Anniversary tour and performed at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Following support shows with Muse and Placebo at Firenze Rocks in Italy last summer, the group headlined a sold-out show at Omeara in London.
