Alesso has long been known for his emotional, melody-driven take on progressive house, delivering historic festival tracks like ‘Years,’ ‘If I Lose Myself,‘ and ‘Calling.’ Meanwhile, Pendulum’s influence spans multiple genres, including drum & bass, rock, and EDM, such as their collab with Armin van Buuren and their track ‘Sound of You’. Alesso The track itself leans heavily into atmosphere in typical Alesso fashion. It opens with a slow-burning build that steadily pulls the listener in, layering tension and space before Pendulum’s echoing vocals arrive. The delivery is raw and raspy, carrying an emotional weight centered around the idea of a light that never truly fades. As the song unfolds, Alesso’s progressive instincts take over, gradually lifting the energy before exploding into a euphoric, festival-ready drop that is made for massive outdoor stages. This collaboration is the perfect combination. Alesso’s melodic structure gives the track its life, while Pendulum’s vocals keep it grounded and raw. The new track ‘Fade’ is going to be one of those tracks that hits just as hard in headphones as it does in a crowd.
