Kayzo Teams Up with All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth on "Up In Flames"
Lately, it seems EDM has been seeing more crossover into other genres than ever before. Over the years, hip-hop, rock, and even country have all been brought into the electronic realm.
L.A.-based producer Kayzo has worked hard to bring the sounds of alternative rock and emo into the fold. Collaborations with bands like Underoath and blessthefall have preceded his latest offering, "Up In Flames," on which he collaborated with All Time Low vocalist, Alex Gaskarth.
The new single features emotional lyrics from Gaskarth over Kayzo's bass-heavy production. Gaskarth explains the lyrics, saying, "'Up In Flames’ is about passion and the juxtaposition of the metaphor of fire itself. [It’s] the way it can be used to describe someone igniting a room when you see them vs. the idea of burning it all down and starting again when things go wrong."
