"Let's Show Them We Are Better, We Were Staying in Paris"

It's gotten to the point that when The Chainsmokers release a new single, the music world quietly pauses their life and presses play. I don't need to give you the, "I'm so proud of how far they've come speech" because you've gotten that enough from me. What I want to focus on with the release of their new single Paris is their ability to continually grow without losing the stylistic elements of what got them to where they are now.

Paris is more of a quiet duet than a festival banger, but between Drew continuing to flex his vocal muscles with Emily Warren and the underlying Indie tone of the track, there's a lot to appreciate. While some will quickly move on to the next track and dismiss this one because it's not as "catchy", others will admire the depth and nostalgia behind the track. We all long to be places we aren't and Paris seems to capture that sentiment with dead on accuracy. 2017 may have just begun, but something tells me Alex and Drew aren't going to be falling back on their successes from last year. Not sure about y'all, but I'm looking forward to all that is on the horizon for The Chainsmokers...#Paris

The Chainsmokers x Tritonal = A Dynamic Quartet

If I had taken the time to come up with a wish list of possible collaborations, this would have been near the top. I don't need to waste your time telling you how much I enjoy The Chainsmokers music, but I've admittedly not posted enough Tritonal music to adequately express how great they are. When I think of Tritonal a few adjectives come to mind: melodic and ethereal. Their mix of bubbly synths and consistently on point vocals are a big reason why I hold their music in high regard.

So what happens when you throw Alex and Drew into the mix? You get an happy electronic ballad like Until You Were Gone. Featuring the vocals of Emily Warren and led by a powerful chord progression, there's a lot of evidence that the collaboration lived up to the hype. The track succeeds in that it doesn't get too upbeat too quick, which makes the release after the job that much more jubilant. If you're nodding in agreement as I'm writing this, head on over to iTunes to add this one to library so that you can try and find it within the now ridiculously crowded Apple Music app...#UntilYouWereGone
