Smash Into Pieces and Within Temptation have joined forces with the joint song Somebody Like You. The song immediately ended up being played on several European rock and metal radio stations, and the momentum increased on Wednesday, when the music video made for the single was also released.
Combining cinematic orchestrations and modern rock, the song is an emotional ballad that deals with vulnerability, longing and the human need for connection. The single also features a 22-piece orchestra, and the end result was very dynamic. At the same time, the collaboration merged two different musical worlds into the same song: the symphonic depth and storytelling of Within Temptation and the modern edge of Smash Into Pieces.
“We’ve known each other for a long time and also toured together, so this is the perfect song to finally join forces. Adding an orchestra to this song felt like a trip to the memories for us, but at the same time it nicely complemented the more modern rock sound. We’re proud of what the song has become and grateful for the collaboration that brought it to life,” says Within Temptation’s Sharon den Adel.
