AceShowbiz - Skrillex has treated fans to new music ahead of the release of his upcoming album. On Monday, February 13, the DJ unleashed "Don't Get Too Close" ft. German singer Bibi Bourelly and the track features his own vocals.
In the opening verse, Bibi sings, "I'm on my PC/ I see famous people/ I think they're like mе/ So why aren't we equal?" The record producer, whose real name is Sonny Moore, the n continues in the chorus, "Don't gеt too close/ Nobody knows me."
This marks the first time Skrillex lends his vocals for a song. He was previously featured on 2015's "Mind" from "Jack U", his joint album with Diplo. He also sang on 2014's "Fire Away" as well as 2011's "Summit".
"Don't Get Too Close" serves as a follow-up to previously-released singles "Rumble" ft. Fred again... and Flowdan, "Way Back" ft. PinkPantheress and Trippie Redd and "Leave Me Like This" ft. Bobby Raps. All the tracks are expected to appear on the "Quest for Fire" album, which is slated to be released on Friday.
Last month, Skrillex got candid about why he had "been gone" from music. In a series of tweets, he wrote, "Had the toughest year of my life in 22, as did so many others. I literally found myself with no drive and purpose for the first time in my life. My mother passed away a few years back 2Nd day of Lalapalooza tour in SA."
"I never ever coped with it ... I drank the pain away and kept going. People ask why 'I've been gone' or 'fell off', rightfully so. Like I said, 22 was sort of my tipping point, I had to put everything on ice especially my projects/ career," he further explained. "The truth is I didn't cancel sunset and movement festival because of my albums. It we because I was working on myself (sic)."
