Ian Brown has recorded lyrics for a vocal version of Alex Metric and Steve Angello's 'Open Your Eyes'.

The song, which is already a hit in the clubs, will be released on May 1 - but you can listen to it below.

“I’m made up to be on board,” Brown said of the collaboration.

Metric said: “It is truly amazing for me to have someone whose music has had such an impact on what I do singing on 'Open Your Eyes'.

“It was an honour to work with him. He sounds fantastic on the track and lyrically manages to capture the epic quality of the instrumental.”

Meanwhile, Metric will release an album, also entitled 'Open Your Eyes', later in the summer.
