Kavinsky is teasing a new version of his song Nightcall, which recently broke a record after his performance of the 2010 track at the Olympics closing ceremony in Paris earlier this summer.
At the ceremony, which took place in August, Kavinsky performed the track at the Stade de France along with Belgian singer Angèle. His set fitted among performances from Phoenix, Air and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig.
Following his set, Nightcall broke the record for the most Shazam’d song in a single day. It currently has over 7,239,192 Shazams on the music discovery platform at the time of writing. Now, Kavinsky is seemingly teasing a re-release of the track, which is reportedly a revamped version, as performed at the closing ceremony.
Kavinsky, Phoenix and Angèle have all shared the same teaser via their social media channels. It features a billboard with the names of each artist on it, an image of Kavinsky’s beloved Ferrari Testarossa, and a phone number.
Upon calling the number, a short message from Kavinsky, Phoenix and Angèle plays back before a short snippet of the song. No official release date or further information has yet been provided.
Following the ceremony in Paris, other artists who also performed at the event saw their tracks soar on Shazam too, with Phoenix’s Lisztomania and Billie Eilish’s Birds Of A Feather also having climbed the platform’s chart.
Nightcall was originally produced with Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and first featured singer Lovefoxxx. It gained mainstream popularity after featuring in the 2011 film, Drive. Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars shared that he was originally asked to sing on the track, but he turned it down as he “thought the song was perfect” and didn’t need his voice.
