Rare is the song that can transport you to the most heavenly of places while making a few hellacious pitstops along the way. But Grammy-nominated and Platinum-certified modern rock dynamos I Prevail and alt goth x grunge singer Amira Elfeky do just that with their new collaborative track “Paradise.” I Prevail and Elfeky collide in the most emotional, epic and opposingly ferocious ways.
The result is a moment for both artists. Glitchy electronics, haunting and cinematic keys, and pummeling percussion abound, while Eric Vanlerberghe’s commanding, scaled-the-pits-of hell howls and Elfeky’s alternately cooed and spewed vocals coil around one another like a snake amid the metallic fracas. You’ll feel like a voyeur witnessing a passionate battle of words between partners.
“We’ve been fans of Amira for a while,” states I Prevail. “She has such a distinct sound and style. The opportunity to write together came up super organically and we instantly connected on this crazy concept for a song. We all saw the vision for it almost right away. That’s a rare and beautiful thing when it happens. We still don’t think we know exactly what we made. We never had to stop to think about it. We just made it.”
