A montage of frustrated tweets “roasting” the superstar producer demonstrates the Lovatics have been on the edge of their seats waiting for this collaboration to drop for quite awhile.

Marshmello is Teaming Up with a Marshmallow Company to Sell Marshmallows
Marshmello has teamed up with a marshmallow company to sell marshmallows. Irony aside, the masked EDM and pop superstar is joining forces with chocolate-filled marshmallow manufacturer Stuffed Puffs, who have partnered with the anthropomorphized version of its flagship product ahead of Halloween. After meeting Stuffed Puffs’ founder, Mike Tierney, at the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 conference in 2019, Marshmello decided to team up and pour gasoline on his marshmallow empire. According to a press release issued to announce the partnership, the company is also hosting a giveaway later in the month of September, which will offer fans a select number of autographed Marshmello helmets. Marshmello took to social media to announce the news, sharing a video so...
Marshmello Drops Hip-Hop Track with Detroit Rapper 42 Dugg
Marshmello‘s foray into the hip-hop scene has taken another leap forward with “Baggin’,” a minimalistic, trap-inspired collaboration with blossoming Detroit-born rapper 42 Dugg. The soaring and euphoric future bass sound synonymous with Mello’s EDM roots are completely absent in “Baggin’.” The masked superstar instead opted for a full-fledged hip-hop instrumental, complete with eerie piano chords and flittering hi-hats, which float over thumping 808s. In mid-August, Mello sent his diehard fanbase into a frenzy after announcing the 2020 release of Joytime IV, his highly anticipated fourth studio album. While “Baggin'” has not been confirmed as one of the project’s singles, it could very well end up on the record’s track...
Listen to the Marshmello-Produced “half alive” from blackbear’s New Album
Los Angeles-based rapper blackbear‘s long-awaited fifth album everything means nothing finally dropped this week, and his latest full-length record features a contribution from dance music heavyweight Marshmello. The masked artist produced the song “half alive,” which, upon first listen, is an immediate standout on the album carried by the spunk of punchy drums and driving pluck basses. It’s a particularly funky angle for the chart-topping producer, who underscores blackbear’s storytelling vocals with a dependable riff of shining guitar chords. The track aims for a rewarding grand finale, however, that puts the classic Marshmello sound straight in the driver’s seat with a euphoric synth solo that brings the party anthem to a satisfying co...
Marshmello Confirms New Album to Drop in 2020
Marshmello took to Twitter today to drop an atomic bomb of an announcement for his fans. The masked EDM and pop superstar is releasing a new album in 2020. His tweet was succinct, but far from cryptic. “New album this year,” he wrote, followed by a green checkmark emoji. Mello’s last full length album arrived over a year ago in July 2019, when he dropped Joytime III, a mammoth dance record that featured collaborations with Slushii, Yultron, Wiwek, TYNAN, Crankdat, Flux Pavilion, Elohim, and A Day To Remember, among others. Back in September of that year, he sent his diehard fanbase into a tizzy when he teased the album’s follow-up, tentatively titled Joytime IV, before doing so again in April 2020 by sharing the news that the record was “80% done.&#...

From Banger to Ballad: Listen to Marshmello and Halsey’s Stripped Down Version of “Be Kind”
Marshmello and Halsey have unveiled a melancholic stripped down version of their collaborative hit “Be Kind.” In a stark contrast to their bubbly original tune, the chart-toppers deliver a brooding effort that is markedly more ballad than banger. Since the stripped rendition is a wholly new recording as opposed to a remix, the cadence in Halsey’s feathery voice differs from that of the original, but it is no less potent. In fact, the absence of instruments allows her vox to flutter with a soft ebb and flow, illuminating her expansive vocal range. Breezy guitar plucks work in unison to serenade listeners to the final chorus, when Halsey brings the track home with her intoxicating falsettos. You can listen to Marshmello and Halsey’s stripped down rework of “Be K...
Marshmello Cancels Forthcoming “Joytime: Into the Melloverse” Tour Due to COVID-19 Concerns
With no ostensible end to the COVID-19 pandemic in sight, Marshmello has decided to bite the bullet and cancel his forthcoming “Joytime: Into the Melloverse” tour. He announced the tour back in March 2020 along with its dates and supporting cast, which included NGHTMRE, Galantis, and SVDDEN DEATH. Those dates, however, are now moot and Marshmello will be issuing full refunds to those who purchased tickets. The masked EDM superstar took to Facebook to share an official statement. “I’ve decided to cancel my tour,” he wrote. “Up until a few months ago, pandemics were just something I thought existed in movies and the history books that we all read in school. little did any of us ever imagine we’d be living through one as I type thi...

Back in May, Marshmello joined forces with Adobe and Live Nation to launch a fan video editing challenge, inviting creators to develop a short that demonstrates how they are fostering kindness in a world that desperately needs it right now amidst the unrelenting COVID-19 pandemic. Almost two months after inviting fans to “show how they’re bringing kindness to the world,” Marshmello has delivered some kindness of his own in the form of a colossal cash prize to the contest’s winner. Julian Curi‘s wallet is flexing thanks to his heartwarming video. Curi’s entry netted him a cool $10,000 cash prize as well as a virtual meet-and-greet with the masked electronic music superstar later this year. In a congratulatory tweet, Marshmello said he “can’t wait to l...
