The Chainsmokers Release Cheery New Single "Let You Go" Featuring Great Good Fine Ok [LISTEN]

Best known for the joke song "#Selfie," The Chainsmokers, comprised of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, continue to try and define a legacy out in front of a camera with a new single featuring Great Good Fine Ok titled "Let You Go."

Just their pair's third original, it has a little bit of the same type of style found in previous remixes with a fast evolving melody and quick key play, while also hinting at the same progressive production found in their previous single "Kanye." The falcetto from the lead singer of Great Good Fine Ok, Jon Sandler, provides an extra emotional touch that we have not seen in other Chainsmokers tracks.

The song is available for purchase now on iTunes and can be streamed on the pair's YouTube account.

"This is a song we actually started before '#Selfie.' Great Good Fine Ok was a band we had just discovered in 2013 and were really into, as Jon, the singer, has this incredible falsetto voice that was mesmerizing," The Chainsmokers told Billboard about the process of creating "Let You Go." "We reached out about doing a song together and they were really into the idea and within weeks we had a finished vocal. The funny part is then '#Selfie' blew up right after and everything went nuts and the song got put on hold while all the craziness was happening, which was kind of a bummer because we would have loved to release it during all the chaos to let people know that '#Selfie' was our humor but wasn't our music style."

"After the dust settled we finished it up and updated some of the sounds and now finally here we are ready to release it. Honestly, the whole sentiment of the song really captures the spirit of our love for strong indie vocals and the good vibes of progressive house, which we based a lot of our earlier work on," said Taggart and Pall. "So while the interesting fact is that it's really our first original song we ever made, it still feels very current and relevant to us and we are excited to release it, as our goal has been to collaborate with really talented up-and-coming artists. Wait till you see the video that may or may not involve a threesome!"

In addition to this track, they have a bunch of new material coming up including possibly something with Tiësto, which they revealed on their Instagram.
