A surprise collaboration between crooning pop stars Maroon 5 and Freebandz head honcho Future has just been released. “Cold” finds the band singing about a relationship turned sour, with the ATL rapper joining up in peak somber and reflective mood, a feeling which often features in his best tracks. Lamenting his own previous “cold” relationships alongside his lavish excesses, he moans, “I just spent half a million on a chandelier / Now you’re trying to cut me off like a light switch.” Listen to the track below.
The combination, though surprising, actually has all the makings of a resounding crossover pop hit, one that we imagine will be getting a hell of a lot of airtime in the next few months. Maroon 5 used a similar formula to commercial success when they recently collaborated with Kendrick Lamar on the massively successful “Don’t Wanna Know,” featuring a Pokémon Go-themed video. Watch that below.
