He Is We collaborates with Owl City in new single
He Is We, a group composed of Rachel Taylor and Trevor Kelly, team up with Owl City in their newly released song, All About Us. The light introduction that uses guitar and bells makes me feel relaxed about what I'm about to hear. When Taylor's voice joins the ongoing melody, I feel reassured, as she comments that "It'll be alright." Then I suddenly feel empowered by the chorus and can begin understanding the story behind the lyrics. Adam Young's melodic voice creates more comfort, serving as the man's perspective that reassures the female character that he will always love her even though she is diagnosed with cancer. I enjoyed the exchanges between Taylor and Young because they portrayed the mutual feeling of love and happiness that couples share no matter what circumstances may come up. All About Us is a pleasant song that leaves you with that "feel-good" feeling. He Is We and Owl City make a good team, and I couldn't have imagined any other groups to make this song sound as authentic as they did.

I had no idea He is We had gotten so big over the past year; it's great to see them succeed. It was equally surprising to hear Owl City without it's usually auto-tuned, techno vibe. Interesting song/interesting collaboration.
