It is official! The Swedish House Mafia has done it once again. Yesterday the Swedish trio confirmed they will be part of one of the most memorable movie soundtracks of this generation. Swedish House Mafia will premier their next collab as part of the soundtrack for James Cameron’s sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water”. The film will feature a collaboration between the trio and American singer/producer The Weeknd. This will mark the 5th official collaboration between the band and one of today’s industry’s leading artists.
Yesterday, both the Weeknd and the Swedish House Mafia members all took to social networks to advertise the release of their upcoming single, which features in Cameron’s film with the following message:
Swedish House Mafia Goes Cinematic As They Join Avatar Soundtrack
It is a much-deserved accomplishment for the Swedish trio, joining a select few artists whose projects have been deemed so good they’re asked to work on movie soundtracks as well. The move marks yet another important step in today’s ever-evolving music industry. As more and more genres, such as dance music begin to earn more and more recognition in the art industry, these fusions should become something common.
And, while we can’t make any absolute claims, one thing is for certain. This soundtrack sounds absolutely magnificent. It seems that, once again, both the Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd have come together to perfectly deliver a balance between underground and mainstream. Light and dark. Pop and under.
