MUMBAI: Liam Payne has released his brand-new single Familiar with J Balvin. The single, out now on Capitol Records, will feature on Liam’s highly anticipated debut album, due for release later this year.

Familiar mixes Latin influences with a throwback RnB club sound to create a track ideal for the summer. Liam appears on the record alongside J Balvin, one of Colombia’s biggest musical experts and the 7^th most-streamed artist of all time on Spotify. He has lent his inimitable reggaeton-infused vocals to this track.
