MGMT and Christine & The Queens have joined forces to create the new song ‘Dancing In Babylon,’ the final preview of MGMT’s upcoming album ‘Loss Of Life,’ which is set to be released on February 23. The beautiful new track is a first for MGMT albums as it features a duet with vocals from Chris of Christine and the Queens, with a lush musical arrangement of piano chords, retro synths and keys with new wave influences.
Chris expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration with MGMT, saying, “I always loved MGMT’s multiverse, their freedom and talent, their limpid songwriting and killer soundscapes. Regal, inspiring.” Chris continues, “When they reached out for this power ballad, I was honored and also excited to dive into their dream, because I have the same all-encompassing approach with my work. I felt invited into their cool movie, and I’m glad to be now a part of the galaxy. Let’s work on more love in the love galaxy.”
‘Dancing In Babylon’ arrives with a music video that features Chris of Christine and the Queens. MGMT shared in a statement, “Creating the ‘Dancing in Babylon’ video with Chris and Ray was a prodigious affair (love), requiring everyone involved to operate in six dimensions at once, all while simultaneously making a simple turkey sandwich with Dijon mustard. The sandwich that emerged is a cosmic mille-feuille that would be presentable in most high-end French diners.”
‘Loss Of Life’ is the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Little Dark Age’ and will include the recently released singles ‘Mother Nature,’ ‘Bubblegum Dog,’ ‘Nothing To Declare,’ and the collaboration with Christine & The Queens ‘Dancing In Babylon.’ MGMT spoke out recently on their surprise at their song ‘Little Dark Age’ going viral on TikTok.
