Recently departing from their killer set at Ultra Music Festival, the rapidly rising duo have released an astonishing remix of Foxes’s original, “Holding On To Heaven“. You may instantly recognize the talented British singers vocals widely known for Zedd’s double platinum single, “Clarity” or Adventure Club’s remix of her “Youth” single. With her stunning vocals largely intact, this Chainsmokers remix features a progressive house vibe fit for any big-room drop. As per usual, the New-York based duo has left us insights on this very latest track. With no set release date in sight (other than release in UK May 4th), stream below until additional updates arrive. Enjoy!
The Thing about Foxes is we Love her… Her vocals are beautiful and effortless and carry such a nice emotional sense of gravity. Its why we think her vocals always do so well with dance music. Holding onto Heaven was definitely a fun challenge for us to remix. The original is very far from a dance track and we wanted to think out of the box and do something unusual with the vocal. Additionally there were so many cinematic parts to the song to use particularly the string. In our remix you will here some vocal transposing that we think adds this very strange but unique edge that cuts through. That paired with our melody and the strong we think we came out with a very dynamic song thats in a constant flux of feeling.
