Swedish House Mafia is a Swedish house music supergroup consisting of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. The group was officially formed back in 2008, and was placed at no. ten on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ Poll, in 2011.
Swedish House Mafia have been called as “the faces of mainstream progressive house music”, while being credited for “setting the tone for the EDM boom of the early 2010s, more than any other act in modern dance music”.
Well, the trio is best known for their biggest hit single to date, “Don’t You Worry Child”.
While, Alicia Keys is an American singer, songwriter, and a pianist. She’s a classically trained pianist, who began composing songs by age 12 and released her debut album, Songs in A Minor, with J Records in 2001.
Well, the Swedish House Mafia has been getting alot of flak recently for their cancelled tour shows. Still, their force as icons in electronic music is nothing to take lightly.
As they just released their new album Paradise Again earlier this year, they’ve already dropped a new collaboration with Fred again.. and now have their sights set on the pop world once again with an apparent Alicia Keys collaboration.
The new song is a cover of “Finally” by Kings of Tomorrow featuring Julie McKnight, originally released in 2000 on Defected Records. Firstly, the song was quite minimalistic with rolling hi-hats and McKnight’s gospel-inspired vocals crooning atop the sparse piano notes.
Now updated for the main stage, SHM and Alicia Keys have transformed one of house music’s classic records into something fit for the main stage.
