It’s been almost a month since “The Fall” with Ship Wrek was the first song to be added to the deluxe release of So Far So Good from The Chainsmokers; this week, they added “Why Can’t You Wait” with Bob Moses to the growing tracklist. The new collaboration is a calm and serene departure from the sounds on the original album, and, like “The Fall,” actually sounds much better than the initial release. Even Drew’s vocals sound more sincere paired with Bob Moses’ delicate melodies. Check out the f

Grammy-winning duo The Chainsmokers have once again taken the music world by storm with their latest collaboration with Pop sensation Kim Petras. The single, ‘Don’t Lie‘, released via DISRUPTOR/Columbia Records, is an energetic fusion of The Chainsmokers’ signature beats and Kim Petras’ sultry vocals. This collaboration has created a track that is not only infectious but also bold, showcasing the undeniable talent of both artists. The Chainsmokers bring their A-game to ‘Don’t Lie,’ with glit

Mallrat released “Wish on an Eyelash” as the lead track from her album Butterfly Blue earlier this year. It was a mere 58 seconds long. But now, she’s teamed up with The Chainsmokers for Pt. 2, a sequel and an extension of the original. The first 58 seconds of the sequel are pretty much identical to the original, then, as you might guess, Drew’s voice comes in and the song becomes a soft duet. Sonically, the collaboration mirrors The Chainsmokers’ latest album foray into a LoFi sound, but it al

A multi-genre lineup of epic proportions is set to take over Voyage Music Festival in 2024, a year that comes with the promise of much more than just its music. One of the Southeast's premier fests, Voyage is returning to Simpsonville's CCNB Amphitheatre, South Carolina's largest open-air venue, October 25-26. Covering electronic, hip-hop, pop and more, this year's massive lineup features headliners The Chainsmokers and Wiz Khalifa along with Louis the Child, Waka Flocka Flame, Cheat Codes and C

Another summer is on the horizon, which means The Chainsmokers are poised to provide the soundtrack for sun-kissed days and starry-eyed memories. The chart-topping duo has announced a new EP, No Hard Feelings, their first since 2016's Collage. That record features two of their three most-streamed songs, "Closer" and "Don't Let Me Down," which are prevalently considered generational dance anthems. Kings of radio-ready vulnerability, The Chainsmokers have always been masters at bottling the emotio

Dialing back clock to 2016, The Chainsmokers are back with a new EP, No Hard Feelings, pulling the yarn of a seamless reconciliation of their past and future sounds. The hit-making duo's latest project is a comprehensive revisitation of their roots while forging ahead into new stylistic domains. With the release of the single "Friday," fans were primed for a full-on revival of the The Chainsmokers' hallmark carefree style—a promise fulfilled across six tracks that blend the familiar with the une

Fresh off the release of their fourth album So Far So Good, The Chainsmokers team up with Ship Wrek to release their new song, “The Fall.” The track is the first of three to come from The Chainsmokers’ deluxe album. To celebrate the release of “The Fall,” The Chainsmokers and Ship Wrek are hosting a remix competition for the song on Skio.

The Chainsmokers have finally dropped their highly anticipated remix of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” a track that has been teased during their live performances for months. This remix marks a nostalgic return to the duo’s remix roots and the indie sound that initially propelled them to fame. Back to a time when Hype Machine and Soundcloud ruled. The Chainsmokers bring their dance-forward style to Boone’s poignant ballad, taking the emotional original, oiling it up, and giving it their

The Chainsmokers have a bit of a notorious persona in the music industry. Though their antics have calmed down significantly, when they first started, they were definitely the party boys of EDM, especially considering their meteoric rise after “#Selfie.” But then came “Closer” and “Roses” and then their debut album… now they’re one of the most successful touring acts in the world. That being said, they still retain some of that laissez-faire attitude, as we find out on the latest episode of Cal

It’s only been three months since So Far, So Good, the most recent album from The Chainsmokers. Yet, never ones to rest on their laurels, the group has announced they’re already about to start work on their next album. In a tweet yesterday, TCS said they were headed to Colorado to start working on the album and will be uploading “clips and things” for the next two weeks.” And who else lives in Colorado that has worked with The Chainsmokers before? Yup, ILLENIUM. The two previously collabor

TCS5 is coming and The Chainsmokers have revealed the first step on the road to their next album with “Up & Down” featuring 347aidan. The song comes right in time for summer festival season with an infection lead melody and extremely catchy lyrics. I’ve already had it on repeat all morning. Listen below.

The Chainsmokers are back from their hiatus as they release their fourth studio album, So Far So Good, today, via DISRUPTOR/Columbia Records/RCA. The duo (or is it trio?) long ago jumped ship from EDM into the pop world, but it’s clear they still use their history as producers in their work so it’s been hard to definitively separate the two worlds. But on this album, they fully lean into the pop world as they work with producer Ian Kirkpatrick (Britney Spears, Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Jason Derul

Nearly a decade later, the petals of The Chainsmokers' breakout song "Roses" still haven't wilted. They're now turning back the clock to those days with their new single, "Friday," which they said is a spiritual successor to that nostalgic track. Channeling the head-over-heels rapture of "Roses," the song trades thorns for firecrackers to capture the all-consuming intensity of young love. The lyrics, delivered in soulful fashion by Fridayy, encapsulate the heady rush of newfound romance, where t

Following a two-year break from touring and releasing music, The Chainsmokers have returned to unveil their new single “High” today. The song, which was co-written and co-produced with Whethan, launches a new musical era for the band and kicks off the journey towards their upcoming fourth full-length album. The song’s official music video has also premiered today and follows the guys to death-defying heights as Drew chases his unattainable significant other through several surreal scenarios, and

The road to their new album continues as The Chainsmokers release their second single of the year, “iPad,” today. Written exclusively by Alex and Drew, “iPad” arrives alongside an official video, directed by Kid Studio, that follows Drew throughout New York City as he navigates the multitude of conflicting emotions that follow ending an unhealthy relationship. “Sometimes you let go just to know where to start,” Drew says. “We wrote this song when I felt like I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It

The Chainsmokers are proving that their talents go far beyond hit-making melodies. They've been making noise with their Mantis Venture Capital fund, and their latest enterprise is a bold investment in MagicX, a startup that harnesses AI to streamline daily life. Founded in 2020, Mantis Venture Capital swiftly penetrated the market after a $35 million infusion from high-profile backers such as Mark Cuban. It has since grown into a multifaceted fund with investments in sectors ranging from healthc

By now, you’ve seen that Kanye West has been almost universally dropped by every music and fashion institution to which he was attached, after spouting anti-Semetic rhetoric, with adidas finally cutting ties with him yesterday, October 25. While not directly associated with the artist, The Chainsmokers have said that they are taking steps to remove their song “Kanye” from streaming services. “Back then, this guy inspired us in so many ways with his music and vision,” they shared in a text Inst

It’s been over two years since we’ve last heard new music from The Chainsmokers, their 2019 album World War Joy. The group has been on a social media hiatus since February 2020, ironically just a month before the official global pandemic was declared. They still popped up every now and then during the pandemic, but on the public-facing front, they’ve been quiet. Yesterday, they performed on the main stage at EDC, however, and shared some new music with the crowd. “EDC! This is a brand new Chai

Last year, The Chainsmokers released their fourth studio album, So Far So Good, along with an album of lofi remixes. While the album has gotten a bit better with consequent listens, it still remains one of our least favorite bodies of work the duo has released. That being said, new year new me, The Chainsmokers are set to release their next single, “Make Me Feel” with Cheyenne Giles this Friday. Set for release on Tiësto’s Musical Freedom Records, the single is a far cry from either the pop bal

When The Chainsmokers and Coldplay first joined forces in 2017, the result was nothing short of a storybook ending. Their collaboration "Something Just Like This" dominated the charts, accumulating over 2.7 billion streams on Spotify to become one of the platform's most-streamed tracks of all time. The song's success was meteoric, earning Platinum certifications in over 20 countries. Now, the collaborative force is back for a follow-up ahead of Coldplay's 10th studio album, Moon Music.

No, not for good. But Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, aka The Chainsmokers, have signed up with fledgling space tourism company World View to perform at the edge of space, approximately 20 miles above the Earth, making them the first artists to do so, according to AP. “We have always dreamed of going to space and are stoked to collaborate with World View to have this adventure and experience,” said The Chainsmokers in a statement. “We know the views of both Earth and space are going to be incredibl

The 2024 return of Global Dance Festival promises to look better, sound better and run later than previous events. In less than three weeks, Denver will welcome the return of one Global Dance, one of its biggest and most beloved electronic music festivals. Many years ago, the event took place at Red Rocks until it outgrew the amphitheater's natural space and moved to Empower Field at Mile High. Now, Global Dance Festival's organizers have revealed its new home at Denver's National Western Comple

The Chainsmokers are back with "Addicted," an earworm of a house track released today alongside Zerb and Ink. Musically sleek yet lyrically unrestrained, "Addicted" revels in the darker, more primal aspects of attraction. By turning wanton desire into an addiction, the track makes a penetrating statement about lust's ability to cloud reason, delivering unapologetic ode to the powerful allure of physical chemistry. "Addicted" features Ink, who has worked alongside Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Childish

When you talk about globally legendary music venues, Amnesia has to be part of the conversation. Originally opened in 1976, it’s gone through its fair share of updates over the years and now ranks among the world’s best venues, choosing not to rest on its laurels. This year’s closing party will be hosted by a similarly legendary musical act — The Chemical Brothers. Amnesia is the perfect setting for a Chemical Brothers’s DJ set thanks to its cutting edge production, world class sound system and

The Chemical Brothers are back with their newest experiment in blending psych rock and electronica with “No Reason” and another incredibly mind-bending music video. A highlight of the Grammy Award-winning band’s recent live shows and DJ sets, “No Reason” is unmistakable and irresistible, built from a cascading melody, a heavy acid riff and a snare roll that rattles like a military tattoo. The track comes with a surreal ‘Neon Marching Band’ video directed by longtime collaborators Smith and Lyal
