The two artists join forces on the Electro-R&B single.

French producer and DJ Gesaffelstein recently collaborated with The Weeknd on his single "Lost In The Fire" that was released back in January, and now he shared his track "Blast Off" featuring Pharrell Williams. Gesaffelstein's forthcoming Columbia Records project Hyperion is set to drop on March 8, and this Electro-meets-R&B single is an up-tempo, yet smooth, dance track that blends genres nicely. It may not be how many Skateboard P fans are used to hearing Pharrell, but the eclectic artist has experimented with sounds throughout his career. 

Gesaffelstein, who is known for being a mysterious artist, has previously spoken about his reputation saying, “People think I’m mysterious but I’m not – that’s just what they think. I’m just me. For me the real mystery in electronic music is the artists who try to be cool, when they aren’t cool. When I see a DJ who..." He pauses to make grand gestures. "That’s the real mystery.”

Quotable Lyrics

You've been thinking about this all night
All week saying this was right
Cross your heart and hope to die
Are you sure you wanna pay the price?
Do it outside in the night
’Cause where you going is the life
