HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – The Chainsmokers, duo DJ dan produser musik asal Amerika yang terdiri dari Alex Pall dan Andrew Taggart, kembali mencuri perhatian dunia musik dengan merilis single hits mereka, “Closer”, pada tahun 2016. Lagu ini menampilkan kolaborasi dengan penyanyi Halsey dan menjadi salah satu track yang paling ikonik dalam karier mereka.
“Closer” tidak hanya menandai pergeseran dalam gaya musik The Chainsmokers yang awalnya lebih dikenal dengan genre EDM, tetapi juga memperlihatkan kematangan musikal mereka dalam menciptakan lagu pop dengan melodi yang catchy dan lirik yang relatable. Lagu ini menceritakan kisah cinta lama yang kembali bersemi, dipenuhi dengan nostalgia, namun dengan nuansa kesedihan dan penyesalan. Taggart sendiri turut menyumbangkan vokal, yang menjadi salah satu elemen pembeda dari karya-karya mereka sebelumnya.
