THE CHAINSMOKERS have revealed their brand new single “Kanye” featuring Siren, an LA based indie-pop duo.
Available on iTunes and through all digital outlets today, the track follows up one of the year’s biggest songs and cultural phenomena, “#SELFIE.” However, it’s quite a departure from the cheeky, crossover club anthem that put Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall on the map.
Provocative in both its name and stirringly gorgeous sense of melody, "Kanye" fuses Siren's divine delivery and uplifting lyrics with THE CHAINSMOKERS entrancing and enigmatic production. Moreover, there's a very special and ultimately inspiring message at the heart of this anthem. The word "Kanye" insinuates that only you can define what makes you individually happy. What other people think doesn't matter, and do not let anyone take that happiness away from you. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible and no judging allowed!
Pall elaborates, “We look at the word ‘Kanye’ as an adjective. The song is about what it means to be like Kanye. It’s about just owning it no matter what you’re doing. Whether you’re on top of the world partying in a penthouse or you’re driving an old car playing your favorite song, it’s about enjoying the moment you’re in and feeling like you’re the king. You embrace that confidence. We didn’t want to do something to left field after ‘#SELFIE,’ but we wanted to show another side of ourselves. What Siren does is just beautiful, and we built the production around that. It gets the message across. Own your shit, be self-assured, and remain confident in everything you do.”
In addition, the boys have launched an Instagram and Facebook campaign with the hashtag #BeLike. They’ve included a fun quiz that you can take here!
After returning from a packed European tour where they hit stages at both Tomorrowland and Ultra, the guys are also gearing up to launch a live radio show on SiriusXM August 18. It's called "Nice Hair with THE CHAINSMOKERS", and it will air on Electric Area. The show is unlike anything else on the air. The guys will speak candidly on the lifestyle of touring international EDM superstars, allowing listeners a vignette behind the curtain. Nothing will be held back, and their wild antics and unpredictable personalities will be on full display!
Things just keep heating up for THE CHAINSMOKERS after MTV recently crowned the group an “Artist to Watch.” “#SELFIE” was officially certified platinum by the RIAA for digital sales in excess of 1,000,000. The song also soared to #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart within merely five weeks and reached the Top 5 on iTunes in over 43 countries. “#SELFIE” is the #6 video on YouTube's "Top Music Videos of 2014". Furthermore, it garnered a nomination for "Choice EDM Song" at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards and the guys have been receiving tremendous support for DJ Mag's "Top 100 DJs" [vote here!]
THE CHAINSMOKERS puff out a distinct hybrid of indie, progressive house, and pop music that proves utterly infectious and intoxicating. It's unlike anything out there, and the world is taking notice in a big way. Already, the pair has been supported by Nicky Romero, Steve Aoki, Pete Tong, Afrojack, Tiësto, W&W, and more, as well as receiving shout outs from the likes of Rolling Stone. In addition, they've been tapped for remixes by everybody from Phoenix, Ellie Goulding, and The Wanted to The Killers and Icona Pop. Their remixes continually shoot to #1 on the HypeM—with 22 in total topping the chart. In addition, their original songs always land on Beatport's top charts, solidifying their status as contenders in the genre. The duo is represented by 4AM. Dim Mak/Republic Records is excited for what's to come from this American dream team.
