I've always been a sucker for when bands collaborate with other artists. I know some people hate it - my mum likes about 1 in every 100 collabs - but I thought for those of you who do love it I'd show you some of my favourite collabs. And maybe for you cynics out there you may find one you like? Also it's probably worth mentioning that I LOVE suggestions.
All Time Low - Remembering Sunday
Featuring - Juliet Simms (Automatic Loveletter)
"I've done something so terrible, i'm terrified to speak but you'd expect that from me"
When the album "So Wrong, It's Right" was first released I thought that Juliet being on one of the songs would make her more known to the world and her fan base would expand. However, this didn't really happen and only now 5 years after the release is her incredible voice known after coming second place on The Voice. The song itself is a slow acoustic number that is one of the fan favourites. Juliet's part of the song has been performed numerous times over the years by just about every other female vocalist out there but no one can do it quite like she does - effortlessly beautiful.
Anavae - This Light
Featuring - Arthur Walwin
"Have we all felt something we're never meant to feel. Don't leave it in the dark just tell me where to start."
Both of these artists are relatively unknown but each deserves masses of attention. Compared to other music by Anavae "This Light" is pretty different. Ditching the heavy guitars and drums they opted for a quieter more intricate sound with Arthur joining Becca in singing what is essentially a breathtaking song.
Arthur Walwin - Wisteria Lane Poker Club
Featuring - AJ Perdomo (The Dangerous Summer)
"So take me and help me up cause i'm falling and I need you to believe in me again."
Arthur himself has collaborated with AJ Perdomo on one of his own songs. A bonus track on his EP "For One More Night" the song showcases how amazing his song writing skills are as well as his stunning voice.
The Dangerous Summer - Disconnect
Featuring - Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low)
"I'm afraid of all the nightmares that came true."
I'm not purposely going in circles, I swear. Back from their 2007 EP "If You Could Only Keep Me Alive" the harmonies provided by Alex compliment AJ's with charm.
A Day To Remember - If It Means A Lot To You
Featuring - Sierra Kusterbeck (VersaEmerge)
"I swear i'll never be happy again and don't you dare say we can just be friends."
Sierra's luscious voice makes this song so enchanting I find it hard to believe there is anyone out there who doesn't like it.
A Loss For Words - Finite (Acoustic)
Featuring - Taylor Jardine (We Are The In Crowd)
"Until the hand of fate takes it away we're staring life right in the face."
I can't think of the words to describe just how much I love this song. Just know that I really really really really love it. Like a lot.
Set Your Goals - The Few That Remain
Featuring - Hayley Williams (Paramore)
"You instilled, helped to build a belief within me that I carry to this day. You passed the torch and cared no more. What a shame. Who's to blame when the mighty fall from grace?"
This song should be one of everyone's favourites. With brutally honest and thoughtful lyrics with music that feels empowering and what can only be described as rapping from Hayley.
Tonight Alive - Thank You And Goodnight
Featuring - Mark Hoppus (Blink-182)
"I think you all look the same, but who's blaming you? Well I know that you can't help it."
One of the punkier tracks from TA's debut album "What Are You So Scared Of?" with vocals from the one and only stupendous Mark Hoppus.
Transit - All Your Heart
Featuring - Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy)
"You made me into a monster so I made you into art and I gave it to the world to rip and tear apart."
Transit write music that is equally beautiful, ingenious and something else entirely. The addition of Patrick Stump on this song makes it even more wonderful.
Yellowcard - Here I Am Alive
Featuring - Taylor Jardine (We Are The In Crowd)
"Someone's gonna tell you who you should wanna be, so you forget the vision that they didn't want to see."
Another one of those songs that gives you food for thought and speaks nothing but truth.
