NEW MUSIC: THE KNOCKS & DRAGONETTE | SLOW SONG

New York-based electro-pop duo The Knocks teamed up with Canadian electronic music band Dragonette to release a new song, “Slow Song,” along with an accompanying video directed by Austin Peters. This marks the second collaboration between The Knocks and Dragonette. Both artists wrote “Love Me Like That” with Carly Rae Jepsen, which appeared on the duo's album “55” in 2016. The track was written by Ben Ruttner, James Patterson, Styalz Fuego, Blu DeTiger, WILLA and Martina Sorbara, produced by The Knocks and Styalz Fuego. The track is another infectious slice of funk-driven pop from The Knocks, imbuing just enough longing and nostalgia to give the song an undeniable “sad banger” feel. Disco is undoubtedly the primary influence on “Slow Song,” It fits right in with The Knocks’ keen emphasis on the intersection between groove and palpable emotion. The Knocks are known for their own releases on labels such as Kitsuné, Big Beat Records, Neon Gold and Atlantic Records and for their remixes featured on HypeMachine, Beatport, and various DJs' setlists. They are also known for their singles "Classic," featuring the duo Powers, "I Wish (My Taylor Swift)" which was collaborated with Matthew Koma and "Kiss The Sky", featuring Wyclef Jean.
