Gabry Ponte teams up with Sam Harper for first single of 2026: 'Words'

Just days ago, Gabry Ponte kicked off the new year with a high-energy live show in Alghero, Sardinia, and now the world's most-streamed Italian DJ and producer is dropping his first release of 2026. “Words” is a driving house track that captures the live energy of the year's opening in a scorching studio production.

For this release, Gabry Ponte teamed up with Sam Harper, the London-based singer-songwriter who recently made waves as a featured artist on James Hype’s single “Waterfalls.” On “Words,” Harper once again proves her versatility, delivering powerhouse vocals that effortlessly move between seduction and urgency.

The track is about more than just words: Gabry Ponte and Harper tell a story of closeness and physical communication. “I don’t need your words / If you gonna say it / Say it with your body“ – the lyrics invite listeners to feel emotions directly rather than explain them. Small gestures, tense silences, and palpable attraction set the tone.

Harper’s commanding vocals bring these moments to life, riding over a dynamic production where frenzied piano chords meet pounding four-on-the-floor basslines and carefully placed synth riffs generate a vibrant tension that pulls the listeners straight onto the dance floor.
