Producers Timothy and the Apocalypse and Charly Whatever today released their highly anticipated collaboration, "Where Have You Gone," a haunting exploration of loss and longing built on ethereal soundscapes and creatively re-purposed vocal samples. The track is available now on all major streaming platforms.
"Where Have You Gone" sees the two solo artists merging their distinct sonic worlds into a cohesive and emotionally resonant track. Timothy and the Apocalypse, known for their cinematic production style, provide a backdrop of brooding synths and expansive arrangements, while Charly Whatever contributes haunting vocal samples that serve as the song's plaintive core.
The genesis of the collaboration came from a shared interest in exploring themes of absence and the search for connection. The re-purposed vocal samples, though their origin remains undisclosed, lend an ethereal quality to the track, amplifying the feeling of yearning that permeates the song's lyrics.
"This project was about finding new ways to express familiar emotions," says Timothy and the Apocalypse. "Charly's use of vocal samples brought a completely unexpected and powerful dimension to the production. We wanted to create a sonic space where the listener could feel the weight of loss, but also the hope of finding something, or someone, that's been missing."
Charly Whatever adds: "I was drawn to the idea of taking existing vocal elements and reshaping them into something new, something that could convey a sense of longing and searching. Collaborating with Timothy allowed me to push those boundaries and explore the emotional depths of the track."
"Where Have You Gone" is a testament to the power of collaboration and sonic experimentation. It's a track that will resonate with listeners who appreciate innovative production and emotionally charged storytelling.
