The Chainsmokers enlist Oaks for new single, ‘Echo’: Listen

Looking both forward and backwards at once, The Chainsmokers have returned with a powerful new single alongside a past collaborator. Tapping Oaks for their new single, the duo has shared a pulsing new single ahead of summer.

“This release truly feels like a release. After 14 years of making dance music together, we’ve watched trends rise and fall but staying connected to the feeling that started it all is the real challenge. This record brought that back for us. There’s a nostalgia in it that reminds me of falling in love with dance music for the first time. The euphoria of those early discoveries, those formative nights that felt like the beginning of everything,” is how Alex and Drew have described their new single, Echo. The pair, better known as The Chainsmokers, has dominated the electornic music scene and commercial charts for over a decade with their infectious brand of electronic pop hits. As they continue to push forward, they remain steadfast in delivering infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics in their work.

For their latest, they once again join forces with Swedish singer Oaks, who first collaborated with the duo for the track Hope on their Sick Boy album. The reunion had a palpable effect on both parties, as Echo drives with clu8b-ready energy as the singer dominates with a powerful vocal performance. “It feels beautiful and full circle working with The Chainsmokers again after our collaboration eight years ago on “Hope.” This song captures that overwhelming moment of falling – when everything feels electric and there’s no way to escape the feeling, no matter how hard you try. Being part of this song means a lot to me; it’s one of those rare records that just feels truly special,” says Oaks. Out now, Echo will certainly satisfy fans, new and old, as it continues to showcase The Chainsmokers’ ability to evolve and grow without alienating their audience.
