After dominating the radio airwaves, festival circuit, and headlining the biggest arenas across the globe, The Chainsmokers took a two-year break from touring and releasing music but the duo has officially broken their silence with the release of “High.”
In what is their first release since 2019, their latest radio-ready, festival-friendly offering is the lead single off their forthcoming album which means there is plenty more new music from these two in the coming months.
“I think we were happy with our last couple albums, but we just didn’t feel that those songs were really like living up to what we really thought we were capable of. That wasn’t honoring of where we thought Chainsmokers could go. And we needed some time to just stop and chill,” The Chainsmokers explained speaking to Zane Lowe on New Music Daily on Apple Music 1.
“We went away to Hawaii in the beginning of 2020. We just went and surfed and drank and laughed and took mushrooms and listened to tons of music that we loved. And we just got refocused. Then we had Emily Warren with us and Whethan and Ian Kirkpatrick and we just all got on a vibe together and made what’s now the backbone of our fourth album and it feels genreless. It’s fun. It incorporates all these sounds that we’ve loved from our entire lives of listening to music. And it’s exciting to press play… cultivating your creativity is one of the hardest things to do. And we landed back in that little wave and ever since then, I think we’ve been more inspired now than we have in the past four years. And so we’re excited to show everybody all the stuff we’re making.”
