The Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Los Angeles duo have long been at the forefront of the melodic bass movement. Known for their ability to craft sweeping emotional narratives through sound, Derek Andersen and Scott Land have built SLANDER from a labor of love into a trailblazing act. Their Heaven Sent imprint has become a platform for music that offers both sonic escape and catharsis..
This time, they reunite with Vancouver’s Fairlane, a multi-instrumentalist known for blending early 2000s rock with electronic vibrancy. The chemistry between SLANDER and Fairlane shines on “Heaven Feels Like,” featuring angelic vocals, warm guitar riffs, lush piano chords, and towering synths. The production oscillates between tender, introspective moments and euphoric peaks, inviting listeners on a journey between heaven and earth.
SLANDER speaks to the meticulous revisions that went into fine-tuning their follow-up effort with Fairlane, saying, “‘Heaven Feels Like’ is finally here… and we are so excited to share the final version! We have been working on this record with Fairlane for almost a year, and we are so happy with how it turned out. It came together extremely naturally, and really pushed the story forward from ‘Hurts Sometimes,’ which was our first collab with Fairlane, and the first release of our own imprint Heaven Sent. We hope this song gives you some positive light and energy!”
Fairlane expresses his excitement around releasing the new collab, and dives into the meaning behind their second offering together: “I honestly can’t imagine a more fitting follow-up collaboration to ‘Hurts Sometimes,’ our first song together, which led to the creation of Heaven Sent Records. This new song not only perfectly represents both our signature sounds, but also conveys such a beautiful message about hope and love, which can sometimes feel lost in today’s world. The tagline ‘that’s what heaven feels like’ is such a bold statement; it was initially quite difficult to imagine a drop that would do the song justice, but I believe we accomplished just that!”
Following their success with “Hurts Sometimes,” which garnered over 10.3 million streams and radio support from Illenium, Alison Wonderland, and Gryffin, “Heaven Feels Like” is poised to continue the duo’s streak. Its genre-blurring mix of rocktronica and melodic bass taps into both emotional depth and energetic release.
Recent releases on Heaven Sent, including their collaboration with Poo Bear and Nikademis, “If Tomorrow Never Happens,” have gained major support from outlets like DJ Life Mag, EDM.com, and This Song Slaps. Fairlane has also expanded his profile through high-profile collaborations with Ava Max, Silverstein, and Jason Ross. Together, SLANDER and Fairlane deliver yet another standout track, deepening their impact on melodic bass while pointing toward the genre’s evolving future.
SLANDER’s current run of headline slots include stops at Boo! Seattle, EDC Orlando, and Get Freaky, alongside two unmissable performances at Las Vegas’ Zouk Nightclub. They’ll also close out the year with a special back-to-back set with Illenium at Decadence NYE, delivering the euphoric, heart-wrenching experience that has become their signature.
“Heaven Feels Like” cements the chemistry between SLANDER and Fairlane, merging heartfelt emotion with massive soundscapes. It showcases SLANDER’s ongoing vision for Heaven Sent as a label committed to melodic bass with depth and sincerity, while hinting at even bolder directions for the duo.
SLANDER and Fairlane’s new single “Heaven Feels Like” is available on all platforms via Heaven Sent.
