Irish band Fontaines D.C. have released the song “Where Is Gone?” with Spanish singer Rosalía. According to Rolling Stone, it is the first collaboration with another artist in the band’s history. The orchestral ballad opens with acoustic guitar before strings and heavy drums come in; singer Grian Chatten and Rosalía trade verses and sing the chorus together.
“Where Is Gone?” follows “Marianne” and “Tongue” as the third single from the fifth album “Dopamine Chamber”, out Oct. 16 on XL Recordings. It was produced by James Ford and recorded in places including Palermo. Guitarist Carlos O’Connell said he has been a fan of Rosalía since her debut album.
The band will play arenas in the UK and Europe in October and November. Shows in Asia, Australia and New Zealand follow, plus a North American tour starting April 22 in Boston.
