Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Skrillex teams up with himself on emotive new single ‘Don’t Get Too Close’
nme.comSkrillex (aka Sonny Moore) has shared his sixth single for 2023 – a heartrending slow-burner called ‘Don’t Get Too Close’ – which marks his first time singing on a track since 2015.The last song to significantly feature vocals from Moore was 2015’s Kai-assisted ‘Mind’, which appeared on his eponymous Jack Ü album with Diplo.
Before then, Moore had sung on Skrillex tracks like ‘Fire Away’ (from 2014’s ‘Recess’ album) and ‘Summit’ (from 2011’s ‘Bangarang’ EP).He’s joined on ‘Don’t Get Too Close’ by Bibi Bourelly, a German-American artist best known for co-writing Rihanna’s hit ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’.
Bourelly sings the first verse and both choruses, while Moore comes in for the second verse and final chorus. On his short verse, Moore sings: “I’m on my PC / I see famous people / I think they’re like mе / So why aren’t we equal?”Musically, the song harkens back to the more ambient and experimental work Moore was releasing in the late 2000s – after he left From First To Last in 2007, but prior to his formal relaunch as Skrillex in 2010 – in particular nodding to his scrapped ‘Bells’ album and tracks like ‘Cusp’, ‘Moss’ and ‘Untitled 1’.In terms of his more recent material, ‘Don’t Get Too Close’ is comparable to ‘All I Ask Of You’ and the ‘Long Drive’ mix of ‘With You, Friends’, both from 2010’s ‘Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites’ EP.Have a look at the visualiser for ‘Don’t Get Too Close’ below:‘Don’t Get Too Close’ is the title track from Moore’s upcoming third album as Skrillex, which is set to arrive sometime in the coming months.
