It's been nearly eight years since Empire of the Sun, the electropop duo behind "Walking on a Dream," have released a new solo single. But that all changed today after they dropped a euphoric track, "Changes," ushering in the pair's exciting return through ecstatic soundscapes and dreamlike vocals.
Channeling that same breezy, walk-on-air energy, Empire of the Sun stay true to their signature style while leaping forward into a new chapter. It's an exploratory venture for the hit-making duo, whose storytelling comes alive in "Changes."
"'Changes' was a breakthrough track for us," said Empire of the Sun's Luke Steele. "It felt like the moment of clarity when it became evident we were in the new era, our time of rebirth, the next chapter of Empire."
"'Changes' represents the shifting sands of time, empires rise and fall but the sun shall shine on," added Nick Littlemore. "Come once more into the world we’ve created, delve deeper within and be rewarded with its ever-expanding story, each and every one is invited to explore the new era."
The track is accompanied by a stunning music video, which was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Michael Maxxis over three weeks in Thailand. Maxxis worked closely with the band to discern the direction and aesthetic of the video, according to a press release.
