Having your new single share a name with the 2015 Valentine's Day erotic thriller celebrated by tweens and housewives alike is a bold move, but when you're 20 year-old Oliver Heldens, you gotta be bold. The young dutchman's new track for Spinnin' Records, "Shades of Grey," was interestingly made with pair of Canadian artists; another future-house pusher Shaun Frank, as well as vocalist Delaney Jane, who's been on tracks with Hunter Siegel and Dzeko & Torres as of late. Believe it or not—the track has nothing to do with BDSM, Dakota Johnson, or other risqué entities, for it's actually a carefree love song. Additionally, it's probably Heldens' best track yet.
