We're all used to throwing around superlatives and praise with producers who've been killing it for a minute, but when it comes to Emile Haynie, his extensive resume truly demands them. Not only is hired-on production impressive (he's produced for the likes for Eminem, Kanye West, and others), but his new solo-styled material is now seeing him as the leading artist hooking up with others. Last month, it was the star-studded affair, "A Kiss Goodbye", that saw him collaborating with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Devonté Hynes, and Sampha, and now today, his collab-heavy tradition continues with "Falling Apart". Featuring Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt and the legendary vocals of Beach Boys singer, Brian Wilson, "Falling Apart" is not just another song that looks good on the outside, it's a track that goes beyond the glitz of high-profile features and gets to the root of what we all want: good music that feels like it's something more than just music. With string arrangements and vocals that sound like they'd go great with a crackling fireplace in the living room, "Falling Apart" is another testament of Emile's music-making intelligence, and we can't wait to hear what he comes up with next as a result. You can purchase "Falling Apart" on iTunes now.
