Madeon Launches New Album With Slayyyter Collaboration

Madeon is prepping his first full-length in seven years. Leading Victory is a Slayyyter collaboration called “Fire Away,” which the French producer, singer, and songwriter debuted this month at Coachella. Listen to that below. The album, out June 26 via Mom+Pop, also features Sam Gellaitry and Flatbush Zombies’ Erick the Architect, with Bleachers’ Mikey Freedom Hart on guitar across the record.

In a press release, Madeon said “Fire Away” is “perhaps the most anthemic record on the album,” adding, “It’s a song about love as warfare, words like weapons of the brokenhearted. Slayyyter embodied the other side of the story and her voice took the song to another level, her performance has so much confidence and attitude, she’s electric.”

In a statement originally written in all caps, Slayyyter added, “I’ve been a fan of Madeon for such a long time; I am $o grateful to have gotten to work with him on this record. I love what we made together.”
