Nic Collins, the talented son of legendary musician Phil Collins, is stepping into the spotlight with a bold tribute to his father’s legacy. He is set to release a brand-new remix of “Invisible Touch,” the iconic 1986 single by Genesis. This fresh take on a beloved classic promises to honor the original while introducing it to a new generation of listeners.
Originally released as the lead single from Genesis’ multi-platinum album Invisible Touch, the song quickly became a defining hit of the ’80s. Fueled by Phil Collins’ dynamic vocals and the band’s signature blend of pop and progressive rock, “Invisible Touch” soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the band’s first and only chart-topper in the United States.
Phil Collins has often referred to the track as his “favourite Genesis song,” a sentiment echoed by fans who consider it one of the group’s most enduring and recognizable anthems. Its upbeat tempo, catchy chorus, and layered production helped cement Genesis’ place in pop-rock history, transcending their prog-rock origins and solidifying their mainstream appeal.
Now, nearly four decades later, Nic Collins is breathing new life into the song with a modern remix that’s expected to blend contemporary electronic elements with the timeless energy of the original. Best known as the drummer during Genesis’ recent farewell tour and for his work with his own band Better Strangers, Nic has carved out a name for himself in the music industry while remaining deeply connected to his father’s musical roots.
In a recent statement, Nic shared his excitement about the project: “‘Invisible Touch’ has always been one of my favorite Genesis songs, and being able to remix it is a full-circle moment for me. I wanted to respect the original while giving it a fresh vibe that speaks to today’s sound.”
The remix is anticipated to include reimagined beats, subtle synth enhancements, and possibly even newly recorded instrumental layers, creating a version that bridges generations of Genesis fans. Early buzz suggests that the track could spark renewed interest in the band’s catalog and further spotlight Nic Collins’ talents as a producer and musician in his own right.
As fans of Genesis and new listeners alike await the remix’s release, one thing is certain: “Invisible Touch” is once again ready to make its mark—this time with a new Collins at the helm.
