Galantis and Don Diablo have joined forces for their first-ever collab, a scintillating electronic jam called “Tears For Later.” Released by way of Diablo’s HEXAGON imprint, the track is a bit of a departure for both Galantis and Diablo in terms of its composition.

The distinct, saccharine vocal style of Galantis is an ideal fit for the bubbly synths and fluttering arpeggios of Diablo. You can listen to “Tears For Later”...
