"Cold Skin" is a future bass song by American musicians Seven Lions and Echos. It was released on November 9, 2016 by independent electronic music label Monstercat.

Background

[edit]

Speaking to Billboard about the collaboration, Lexi Norton of Echos said:

"I remember I was at dinner when Tal called me and told me that Seven Lions wanted to make a track with us. I try to not let myself get excited over much, but imagine getting a phone call saying that one of your favorite artists wants to collaborate with you. That was probably the best feeling in the world."[3]

Jeff Montalvo, better known as Seven Lions, further stated in an interview with EDMChicago that he wanted to work on a title featuring Norton, which turned into the collaboration.[4]

Reception and release

[edit]

Maggie Patinelli of Billboard said the track was "perfect for driving across the Brooklyn Bridge at night with the windows down."[3] Matthew Meadow of YourEDM called the track "a stunning example of melodic bass music with accompanying heavenly vocals – pick your favorite sports metaphor, “hole in one,” “slam dunk,” they all fit."[5] Rachel Steer of Earmilk praised the track, calling it "classic Seven Lions with its ethereal sound, little glimmers of bass and stunning guest vocals."[6]

An extended play featuring six remixes of "Cold Skin" was released on June 13, 2017 on Monstercat.[7] Landon Fleury of YourEDM praised the variety of the remixers in the EP, from familiar Monstercat personalities to two surprise entries.[8]
