ILLENIUM and Marshmello Team Up for First Original Collaboration, 'Close My Eyes' With SACHA

Marshmello and ILLENIUM have joined forces on ‘Close My Eyes,’ a new single featuring vocalist Sacha that finds comfort in dreams when reality gets too heavy.The wistful track first surfaced during ILLENIUM’s headline set at Ultra Miami this past March, when he brought out the helmeted hitmaker for a surprise Mainstage pairing.

It resurfaced again during the duo’s b2b set at Red Rocks in August, after which fans closely tracked its studio release.The track opens with airy guitar plucks as SACHA’s intimate vocals describe a retreat into sleep as a way to avoid grief: “Close my eyes / ‘Cause only when I’m dreaming / I see the other side / Where it’s just you and I.” It then climbs into a future bass drop layered with bright synth stabs, creating a seamless blend of ILLENIUM’s melodic sensibilities and Mello’s pop instincts.

The release follows a busy stretch for ILLENIUM, who spent much of the year touring his sixth studio album, ODYSSEY, including a headline residency at the Vegas Sphere.Marshmello remains just as busy, headlining Breakaway Philadelphia this month alongside Tiësto and returning to his regular Encore Beach Club residency in Las Vegas throughout the fall.
