Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes and Spiritbox singer Courtney LaPlante have collaborated on an upcoming new single titled “If The Sun Burns Out Tonight“. That track was written and produced by Grabbitz in conjunction with Riot Games‘ hit first-person shooter ‘Valorant‘. It will serve as the theme for the the next ‘Valorant Champions‘ event, which will be held in Shanghai from September 24th to October 18th.
Grabbitz commented:
“The best collaborations happen when everyone brings a different perspective to the room — and that’s what makes this record so exciting to me. Oli, Courtney and I came together from different corners of the globe, and landed on a track that sits effortlessly between my electronic world and the heavy landscapes of Bring Me The Horizon and Spiritbox. The three of us just clicked — and the result is what I believe to be the best Valorant anthem to date.”
Sykes, himself a noted gamer, added:
“I’ve always been drawn to projects that blur the lines between storytelling and music, so working with Riot Games, alongside Grabbitz and Courtney, and becoming part of the Valorant world felt like a really natural fit.”
LaPlante, who last year teamed up with Riot Games‘ fighting game ‘2XKO‘ for the song “Ties That Bind“, said of this cut:
“I cannot wait to release this song! Oli has given me the opportunity to perform live with BMTH many times over the years, and we’re finally debuting something we worked on together. Grabbitz produced such a great atmosphere and a song tailored to all three of our voices, and Oli went in right away and made it a true collaboration.”
