Marshmello and Khalid were silent for too long. Five years and two billion streams later, the two crossover stars have joined forces for a new single called “Numb,” the successor to 2017’s global dance hit “Silence.” Eschewing the contemporary pop-trap style of its predecessor, “Numb” instead glides along to a breezy four-on-the-floor rhythm. This time around, Mello produced a breezy deep house track designed for poolside lounging. And Khalid’s velveteen voice is as smooth as ever, crooning about taking advantage of the time we have with a new love. Check out the official “Numb” music video below.

“I feel like me and [Khalid] need to do another song together,” Marshmello tweeted out-of-the-blue on May 12th. Turns out, however, it was more than a mere feeling. Mello and Khalid are now seemingly making final preparations to release a forthcoming collaboration called “Numb.” A follow-up to the duo’s 2017 single, “Silence” would certainly be a welcome one. The brass-driven pop track arrived just in time to dominate the late summer months, but its impact went well beyond the season. To date, “Silence” sits at over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify alone, making it among the top 200 most-played songs ever on the platform.

At long last, Marshmello has offered a taste of Joytime IV, the fourth installment of his long-running album series. Fans can now sink their teeth into the album’s first single, “BeFoRe U.” Marshmello turned back the clock here, showcasing the blissed-out, saccharine future trap sound that propelled him to superstardom. It’s a breath of fresh air for Mello loyalists, many of whom have become disillusioned by his pivot to hip-hop and contemporary pop music. It seems like a lifetime ago when Marshmello released the first edition of Joytime, his debut album, which dropped back in 2016. The record was a breakthrough for the subversive producer, who recently garnered his first Grammy Award nomination in the category of Best Dance/Electronic album for Shoc...
