Following their impactful release ‘Broken Hearted’ with San Holo and Julia Church, GRAMMY-nominated electronic music duo SLANDER has unveiled a new rendition of their acclaimed track, ‘Love Is Gone.’ This version features Joshua from the K-Pop group SEVENTEEN, offering a fresh perspective on a dance music staple. The track is now accessible on all streaming platforms.
This collab arrangement features delicate piano chords, and Joshua’s vocals introduce a fresh intimacy while preserving the acoustic essence of the original. This refined instrumentation amplifies the lyrical weight, and the melancholic melody makes each line feel deeply personal. Joshua’s delivery revitalizes the song, making it feel both familiar but with a new twist.
SLANDER shared their enthusiasm for the collaboration: “We’re incredibly excited to share the SEVENTEEN version of ‘Love Is Gone.’ This was a unique opportunity to collaborate with exceptionally talented artists and craft a new landscape for this song. The SEVENTEEN version maintains the original’s emotional core while introducing new vocal melodies and textures. We hope everyone who knows the original will experience this new take.”
“Love Is Gone” first debuted in 2019 with Dylan Matthew and later as an acoustic version in 2021. Both releases achieved global recognition. The acoustic version has become one of Spotify’s most streamed acoustic songs, exceeding 600 million streams, with the track accumulating over 1 billion streams across all platforms. Its emotive vocals have resonated globally, solidifying its place as a pivotal track in SLANDER’s catalog.
