Global Hitmakers R3HAB, Michael Patrick Kelly and Shaggy Call for “Rebellion.” Out Now on Universal Music/Virgin Records
Multi-platinum DJ and producer R3HAB has spent the past 15 years reshaping the electronic music landscape with his genre-blending sound and global collaborations. From early remixes for Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, and Calvin Harris to hits like “All Around The World (La La La),” “Rock My Body,” and “Lullaby,” he continues to push boundaries in dance music. With over 12 billion streams, including 1.1 billion in 2024, and collaborations with stars like Ava Max, ZAYN, and Luis Fonsi, R3HAB is a dominant force in both streaming and live performance. His label CYB3RPVNK, launched in 2016, has amassed over 4 billion streams, solidifying his role as a tastemaker in the industry. He has topped DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list for seven consecutive years and made history as the first dance artist to sell out 15 consecutive shows in China, while headlining festivals like Tomorrowland, Coachella, and Ultra Music Festival.
Meanwhile, Michael Patrick Kelly, the Irish-American singer-songwriter, has become a celebrated figure in European pop with his unique balance of mainstream appeal and artistic depth. His fifth album, “B•O•A•T•S”, topped the charts with hits like “Beautiful Madness” and “Throwback,” while his collaboration with Rakim on “Wonders” demonstrated his bold genre-crossing style. As a co-writer on the EDM smash “Where Are You Now” by Lost Frequencies & Calum Scott, Kelly has proven his versatility across genres. Known for his four-octave voice and captivating live shows, Kelly’s “B•O•A•T•S” tour spanned over 70 dates across Europe, and his role as a coach on “The Voice of Germany” further showcased his deep connection to the music community.
“‘Rebellion‘ is where three sounds collide – my electronic energy, Shaggy‘s reggae vibes, and Michael Patrick Kelly‘s soulful rock vocals. We’ve fused our styles into a feel-good anthem about taking on the world together. It’s a testament to how music transcends genres, and we can’t wait for fans to hear it.” – R3HAB
“‘Rebellion‘ is about the rebellion of love in the midst of a world full of hatred and violence. The song is about two rebels, a portrait of the Bonnie & Clyde of love, opposing all the hate and violence in the world by celebrating what they feel for each other. Calling out for a revolution of love, for a rebellion of lovers. The power is in the people who celebrate love and life with music and tear down the works of destruction in this world.” – Michael Patrick Kelly
“Making music Is rebellion. What better way to express that than singing a song called ‘Rebellion.’” – Shaggy
