Mallrat has capped off her massive 2022 with a surprise collaboration with The Chainsmokers.
After the U.S. electronic duo spent the week teasing the collaboration, ‘Wish On An Eyelash Pt. 2’ dropped today.
According to Mallrat, otherwise known as Grace Shaw, the release has been a long time coming. “The original ‘Wish On An Eyelash’ is a short, one minute introduction to my album and was never promoted as a single – but there must be something a bit magic about it, because in the last few months it has stood out as something that really resonates with people and now has a life of its own,” the singer-songwriter says.
“A few weeks ago I was completely taken by surprise when I logged on to Twitter to see The Chainsmokers had remixed the song out of pure love for it – we had never met or talked!
“For something so big to happen organically like this is really special and really rare. I am so excited for this interpretation of my track to be an introduction to a whole new audience. Thank you to The Chainsmokers.”
The collaboration started back when The Chainsmokers expressed their admiration for ‘Wish On An Eyelash’, the short but sweet opening track on Mallrat’s acclaimed debut album, Butterfly Blue, released earlier this year.
“I’ve listened to this song by @lilmallrat everyday and I love it so much but it’s only :58 long so we did a little thing and made it longer. enjoy :) love you @lilmallrat,” they wrote on social media last month.
