I Prevail partner with Amira Elfeky for collab track ‘Paradise’

Rare is the song that can transport you to the most heavenly of places while making a few hellacious pitstops along the way. But Grammy-nominated and Platinum-certified modern rock dynamos I Prevail and alt goth x grunge singer Amira Elfeky do just that with their new collaborative track “Paradise.” Listen here.

I Prevail and Elfeky collide in the most emotional, epic, and opposingly ferocious ways. The result is a moment for both artists. Glitchy electronics, haunting and cinematic keys, and pummeling percussion abound, while Eric Vanlerberghe‘s commanding, scaled-the-pits-of hell howls and Elfeky‘s alternately cooed and spewed vocals coil around one another like a snake amid the metallic fracas. You’ll feel like a voyeur witnessing a passionate battle of words between partners.

Ultimately, “Paradise” slices and scars as much as it soothes. 

“We’ve been fans of Amira for a while,” states I Prevail. “She has such a distinct sound and style. The opportunity to write together came up super organically and we instantly connected on this crazy concept for a song.  We all saw the vision for it almost right away. That’s a rare and beautiful thing when it happens. We still don’t think we know exactly what we made. We never had to stop to think about it. We just made it.”

That’s how the most memorable and compelling art is made — by not overthinking it and instead just doing it and letting it take shape organically.

Since starting life in Metro Detroit, Michigan in 2013, metalcore/post-hardcore outfit I Prevail have enjoyed vast amounts of critical and commercial success. Their first album, 2016’s Lifelines, achieved gold status in both the US and Canada, while 2019’s TRAUMA repeated that accomplishment in Canada. The latter was nominated for Best Rock Album at that year’s Grammys, with single “Bow Down” also a contender for Best Metal Performance. 

2022’s TRUE POWER saw the band continue to forge their own musical path, refusing to conform to the expectations of the genre, and instead demonstrating just how much of a tour de force I Prevail‘s music is. Now, with fourth album Violent Nature, the band have taken that to the next level. The album is already at 170M consumption, while the band’s total streams are just under 5 billion.
