New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Continuing a series of bold collaborations, ILLENIUM reveals the blockbuster new single "Good Things Fall Apart" with
Jon Bellion today. Breaking creative ground and knocking down genre boundaries, this marks the very first collaboration between these two powerhouses. An enthralling apocalypse-esque lyric video accompanies the track release today, view it HERE. "Good Things Fall Apart" is available for streaming and purchase HERE via Astralwerks.
On the track, ILLENIUM envisions a sonic backdrop of glitchy beats, delicate acoustic guitar, and ethereal percussion, and Bellion's dynamic voice leaps from intimate verses towards a delightfully dizzying crescendo. The multiplatinum star channels nostalgic nineties pop-punk and turn-of-the-century emo on his catchy and confessional chorus, "Coming to terms with a broken heart. I guess that sometimes good things fall apart." It's unlike anything either artist has released thus far. Most importantly, "Good Things Fall Apart" has all the makings of a crossover anthem perfect for summer.
The song comes hot on the heels of two explosive anthems from ILLENIUM. To date, his single "Crashing" featuring Bahari has amassed nearly 27 million total streams. Meanwhile, the follow-up "Pray" featuring Kameron
Alexander soundtracked a new HBO documentary. Plus, the recent "Pray" remix packaged engendered enthusiastic critical acclaim. Dancing Astronaut placed it on an NMF Roundup. YourEDM praised it as "intensely varied," while RunTheTrap proclaimed it, "a phenomenal remix pack."

Daisy Carnival Las

Vegas residency at Hakkasan, and headline both Madison
Square Garden (September 21) and Red Rocks Amphitheater (October 10, 11, 12) in the fall. Dates are selling out rapidly. Remaining tickets are available here.
Bellion got his start with a series of mixtapes featuring his original songs - all recorded in his parents' basement. He built a remarkable following by sharing his music directly with listeners, giving away more than 200,000 free downloads of 2014's The Definition and playing live for fans on two sold-out national tours. Also a sought-after collaborator, Bellion co-wrote and produced "
Trumpets" for
Jason Derulo and co-wrote the GRAMMY Award winning, 10x-Platinum hit "
The Monster" for
Eminem and Rihanna. He co-wrote and co-produced
Christina Aguilera's recent single, "Fall in Line" featuring Demi Lovato. Bellion begins his North American tour this June, tickets available HERE.
