Influential Los Angeles trio Failure have released their latest single ‘The Rising Skyline’, and it features none other than Paramore‘s Hayley Williams.

The latest track released from the band’s upcoming album ‘Location Lost’ – which arrives this Friday (April 24) – the largely acoustic track is a heart-wrenching break-up song.

Over the years, Hayley has made no secret of her love for Failure, even featuring in the band’s recent Hulu/Disney+ documentary ‘Every Time You Lose Your Mind’.

The vocalist has previously shared that the band’s 1996 album ‘Fantastic Planet’ was one of the reasons she wanted to start a band, and a cover of ‘Stuck On You’ was also released as an early Paramore b-side back in 2006.

The band’s frontman Ken Andrews, was also responsible for mixing Paramore’s 2013 self-titled album.

Speaking on working with Hayley, he has said:

“Failure doesn’t do a lot of collaborations, but my friendship with Hayley, and her long standing support of the band, turned this song into a very satisfying duet. It’s probably the most delicate song we’ve ever done and her vocal approach really brought that out.”
