Benny Blanco, Marshmello And Vance Joy Team Up For New Track You

Benny Blanco (pictured) and Vance Joy have teamed up for a collaborative single.

You blends understated vocals and acoustic folk elements from the Australian singer-songwriter with dancefloor production from Blanco, Marshmello and Blake Slatkin.

It follows the US producer's 2020 hit Lonely with Justin Bieber, and arrives with an accompanying stop motion claymation video directed by William Childs. Blanco said.

"I've been friends with both Vance and Marshmello for a long time and it was just the right time for us to make a record together. This song makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and I hope everyone else gets the same feeling when they listen."

Australian artist Joy added: "I went into a songwriting session with Blake Slatkin and Caroline Pennell and we had a super fun day. We walked away with an emotionally charged song that felt like it had something special. Benny loved it as well and I was excited when he told me he was working on it with Marshmello. I love what it’s blossomed into—it’s really arrived. I'm very happy to be a part of it."

"Benny showed me this demo in his studio one day," said Marshmello. "I was instantly attracted to the song and knew I had to try something a little different with it. I sent my initial idea to Benny and from there we went back and forth until we created what everyone can hear right now. Super excited and happy with how the song came out."

In December 2020, Blanco unveiled Real Shit, a track from the late hip hop star Juice WRLD. Joy, meanwhile, put out his second LP, 'Nation Of Two', in 2018, and more recently Marshmello racked up an impressive number of collaborations in 2020, including tracks with Usher, Demi Lovato and Halsey, to name a few.
