Vancouver native Adam Pearce reconnects with L.A-based singer-songwriter Dani King for an emotive ballad, “Align,” a powerful melodic bass track released on SLANDER‘s Heaven Sent imprint. This single builds on the chemistry established in their 2022 collaboration, “Pieces.”
“Align” is a beautiful ballad celebrating the gravitational force of undeniable love, telling the story of two lovers fated to be together despite their attempts to resist. The track features unfurling guitar licks over emotive, trance-infused textures and stirring hums. Dani King’s passionate vocals convey the struggle and eventual surrender to the magnetic pull of true love. Delicate piano keys and carefully placed percussion build intensity, leading to a euphoric release with sweet, undulating synths, soul-stirring low-end, and delicate harmonics. “Align” expertly balances stunning and sultry, emotional and inspiring elements.
Adam Pearce shares insights on the creation process: “When showing Dani the idea, it was like clicking a puzzle piece into place; her ideas and mine blended immediately, and we both knew we had something special. The song is about pure connection with another person, and sometimes denying or hiding from our emotions only makes them stronger. Working again with SLANDER’s record label Heaven Sent is always incredible; SLANDER has been a huge support and inspiration. ‘Align’ is my second original song with Dani, and it’s always a pleasure working together.”
Dani King expands on the collaboration: “I believe every topline has a home, sometimes it just has to wait to be claimed, and ‘Align’ was one of those songs. I wrote this topline in 2017 with my friend Max Hurrell, and it fit perfectly over Adam’s beautiful instrumental. I was thrilled that Adam loved the song; it came together so easily for both of us.”
