Internationally-acclaimed duo Galantis and prolific production team Ship Wrek have joined forces with R&B singer-songwriter-producer Pink Sweat$ for a shimmering new collaborative single, ‘Only A Fool’ – available now via Atlantic/ Big Beat Records.
The vibrant track is the perfect primer for summer, pairing Pink Sweat$’ silky-soulful vocals with Galantis’ signature effervescent beat.
“We’ve been in the studio making music non-stop during quarantine, and we were happy to work with our label mates Pink Sweat$ and Ship Wrek on this one. It’s a fun collab that brings some good vibes to a weird time.” – GALANTIS
“There’s really something special about this record that just feels right –the R&B mixed with house music is something that we hadn’t explored until this song and we put every ounce of our lives for a good while into making sure it was perfect.” – SHIP WREK
“’Only A Fool’ is about a person that you’re deeply into but they’re not doing the right things. At the same time, you’re not perfect but you realise with love you can master imperfection. You’re not trying to fix everything wrong about someone but you’re able to acknowledge those things. Being able to tell them, I don’t like this part about you but I love this part about you and I’d be a fool to let those things that I don’t like keep me from falling deeply in love with the person.” – PINK SWEAT$
‘Only A Fool’ marks the third new release from Galantis over the last month, following their introspective collaborative single ‘The Lake’ with Wrabel and their soundtrack contribution to SCOOB! The Album, ‘I Fly’ featuring Faouzia. This past February, the duo also teamed up with WaveXR to transform into real-time custom avatars for a live virtual reality concert special. The performance, which re-aired last month as part of the OneWave Benefit Concert Series benefitting MusiCares and the AdCouncil, has amassed over 1 million collective views.
Most recently, Galantis’ third album “Church” features their chart-topping single ‘Faith’ with country music icon Dolly Parton featuring Dutch singer-songwriter Mr. Probz. The single received its first play on the World’s Biggest Dance Show, hosted by BBC Radio 1, and syndicated across seven countries to an audience of over 18 million listeners. Hailed as an “absolute floor-filler of epic proportions” by Gay Times and “a life-affirming dancefloor jam” by Entertainment Weekly upon release, “Faith” saw a #1 debut on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Chart before quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart where it remained for 5 weeks.
