Grammy Award-winning artist/producer duo The Chainsmokers & producer/DJ Illenium have released new single Takeaway featuring vocals from rising pop star and Columbia labelmate Lennon Stella.
Directed by Jeremiah Davis, the video features all four artists and was shot at The Vessel at Hudson Yards in New York City. Speaking about the video, The Chainsmokers said, “We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to be one of the first artists to create a music video with The Vessel! We are from New York so to be a part of something that will be a huge part of New York City history is incredibly special to us. We also had to run up a ton of stairs in this video all day so we hope people appreciate that hahaha...”
Takeaway follows the release of The Chainsmokers’ most recent single Call you Mine featuring Bebe Rexha, which has accumulated over 175 million global streams to date. Both tracks are included on The Chainsmokers’ ongoing building album, ‘World War Joy’, along with previously released songs Do You Mean featuring Ty Dolla $ign and bülow, Kills You Slowly and Who Do You Love featuring 5 Seconds of Summer, which hit Top 10 at Pop Radio.
