I can't believe their song is called the same
I guess I'll check it out just for fun, not a big fan of FIR.
A review from Under The Gun:
Quote:
After months of teasing, Sleeping With Sirens took to YouTube last night to release their collaborative effort with rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
Taken from Sleeping With Sirens’ forthcoming June release, Feel, “Alone” kicks off with high-gloss production and an onslaught of whoa-ohs to entice listeners both at home and in a future live setting. This gives way to a more atmospheric verse that builds into a thunderous chorus, which carries a sound that falls perfectly in line with everything the band has released up to this point, but it is what lies ahead in the song that will have fans tweeting and tumbling (that’s a term now, right?) for days to come.
Starting with the second verse, vocalist Kellin Quinn goes from delivering his signature croon to offering listeners what can only be described as a hybrid of rapping and singing. Yes, rapping Kellin Quinn. Apparently this is going to be a recurring theme in the scene this year. Fortunately for Quinn and the hordes of girls awaiting his next tweet around the world (), his quick-tongued switch works far better than anyone could imagine. He finds a perfect balance in his delivery, and that combined with his already powerful songwriting capabilities creates one of the most exciting surprises in music so far this year.
Machine Gun Kelly’s contribution comes in as the third verse. The Cleveland emcee showcases the full spectrum of his lyrical abilities by building from a steady pace to lightning-fast lines in a matter of seconds. His ever-present cockiness somehow manages to take a backseat to lyrics that pair well with Quinn’s without losing the abrasive vocalist’s style. I’m not sure how often MGK will be able to partner with SWS in a live setting, but if such a chance ever happens near you, this track will surely be worth the price of admission alone. You can stream the song below.
“Alone” features a pairing I would never have expected to work, but the end results are kind of outstanding in their own way. Collaborations are generally risky business, especially when genre cross-overs are involved, but Sleeping With Sirens and Machine Gun Kelly have pulled it off without resorting to commercial tricks. It’s not like fans needed another reason to be excited for Feel, but if they did, they certainly found their answer in this song.

I think the collab works really well, never would have expected it but the way Kellin helps the transition from SWS sound to MGK sound by rapping himself in the second verse is really cool. I also like the strings and the cascading sound of the song, it feels like it's wrapping around you when you listen to it, it's really captivating. I'm getting more excited for their album than I thought I would
Oh and it's currently #66 on iTunes
They also performed the song live in London on May 16 with MGK:
