Martin  Garrix is back with a long awaited new single, this time collaborating with rising singer Clinton Kane. Martin is never one to sit still and has been releasing one track after the other, now kicking of 2020 with the beautiful sound of “Drown”.

Kane’s powerful vocals gather weight and is the perfect fit for the characteristic Garrix style. By combining forces, they have managed to establish a very powerful sound which will win hearts and minds the world over and is yet another shining example of his natural talent for working with brilliant vocalists from all over the world.

Born to Norwegian and Filipino parents and living in between multiple countries—primarily the UK and Australia, Kane grew up teaching himself to sing, play guitar, piano and the drums. Signed to Columbia, this huge talent makes for a great match for Garrix, and the pair got on like old friends when they collaborated on this track.

Martin Garrix: “Making this track with my friend Clinton Kane was amazing! He is crazy talented and we get along very well making the studio sessions loads of fun! I’m really happy with the end result.”

Clinton Kane: “Martin is such a warm human and a mad talent. It was heaps of fun writing and working with him on this track. We actually only met after the song was fully finished due to logistical issues and volcanic eruptions. Thank god for technology! Love him to death.”

With Garrix’s recent exploits including a life-changing trip to Antarctica and working on UEFA EURO 2020, his 2020 is just getting started and this new track will blast it into overdrive!
