Fedde Le Grand & American Authors Drop ‘One Way Up’

Dutch star DJ Fedde Le Grand has an incredible track record of solo hits – like his banger ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit‘ from 2006 – and is celebrated for his lit festival performances and chart topping remixes, but another major pillar of his incredible success story consists of his collaborations with other artists. Most recently, he has teamed up with the US indie rock band American Authors for their new joint single ‘One Way Up‘, out now via Virgin Records Germany.

The track tells about broken dreams, lost hopes and running out of luck, but the catchy chorus unlocks a silver lining: When you’re all the way at the bottom, the only way is up! In a world that’s grown noticeably tired after two years of pandemic life – and with seemingly no end in sight – this single is the perfect reminder to never lose hope. Sonically, ‘One Way Up‘ is any crossover connoisseur’s dream come true, and sure to captivate fans of various different genres alike: an opening that sees Barnett’s raspy voice describing sinister scenarios along to dark, heavy sounding chords leads to an emotional, anthemic bridge and ultimately a drop that kicks off into an utterly optimistic, uplifting and explosive refrain. It’s the best of indie rock melancholy and house music’s magic knack to empower and invigorate, blended into one irresistible mix.
