Australian melodic metalcore group Windwaker and fellow Aussie RinRin have pooled their talents on a new track titled “click,“. Collectively speaking, Windwaker said the following of the lyrical intent behind this collaboration and how it came together:
“It’s about the digital world we’re living in, where the lowest moments for individuals and our society are uploaded and televised for profit and entertainment at the cost of our own security. People have willingly given up their privacy for fame. It’s become normalized and we’ve become so desensitized by it that you question the world around us and whether anyone is real anymore or if they’ve got a mask on.”
“When we finished the last record, we were really excited about the idea of collaborating with other artists on our new music since we’d never done that before. RinRin made the most sense to us as someone who has worked with Chris [Lalic] for years. We took a couple days in the studio with her as an experiment to see what could come out of it and once the concept and the chorus had formed, the rest came together effortlessly. It felt like a pure collaborative moment with both the band and Rin equally creating our parts together in real time.”
RinRin added:
“‘click.‘ feels relevant. Everyone’s a walking camera with their tech now and it’s, like, crazy how much it’s becoming our new norm. Definitely one of the coolest collabs I’ve ever done.”
