The Chainsmokers’s new sound track hit “Closer,” was released as of yesterday featuring Halsey. In contrast to their previous singles such as “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Roses”, Andrew Taggart (the other half of Chainsmokers) will be seen singing.
Artists who sing their own songs are typical and usual in the music world, however, the Chainsmokers duo deviates from the usual and regular stints where DJs depend on vocalists and songwriters to add that human presence in their skillfully created sonics. The duo’s leap into putting their special brand of disco tunes is nicely interwoven in their desire to be acknowledged as genuine musicians and performers who have points of view compared to unidentified individuals positioned within the DJ booth.
While other artists prefer to perform behind wide expanses of musical instruments and other types of stage camouflage Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart chose to expose their selves more on each stage performance, where they display a personal familiarity into a category lacks passion and enthusiasm.
In an interview on how they would progress as a pair, how they would substantiate their identity, and their new track, Alex Pall said that he grew up as a DJ since it was his past-time. He said he deejay all over New York, like a small time work that was not really just a hobby but something he really wants to do.
Pall revealed that it was frightening living it up in the city doing something that is not really considered as a job but more of like a diversion for fun. Then after some time he said he was in an art gallery – when he realized that his life is being overwhelmed by dance music and he wanted to make a go for it in the proper direction.
He was working at that time with the same manager that they now have who acquainted him with Drew. That’s when the two met and began working together. He quit his job and left Maine and joined Drew.
As for Andrew Taggart, he said he met Alex through a kid who works for Pall’s manager, who told him that the Chainsmokers need another guy on the team and he would be a good choice. So he took a bus from Maine, and joined Alex in New York.
