Skrillex and Hikaru Utada team up for Kindgom Hearts III Theme Song

Skrillex had a quiet start to 2018, but the back half of the year has witnessed his return to the spotlight — and it appears there are no plans on stopping in sight. His Dog Blood project with Boys Noize recently resurfaced on Instagram and on the Buku Music + Arts Project lineup, he recently collaborated with Justice, and now he’s going in a whole different direction in producing for Square Enix and Disney’s game collaboration, Kingdom Hearts III.

Specifically, the crossover star worked alongside Hikaru Utada to create the Kingdom Hearts III theme song, which is featured in the newly released opening trailer for the game.  The game is set across a vast array of Disney and Pixar-imagined worlds, and follows the journey of Sora — a young boy and unknowing heir to a spectacular power. Sora is joined by Donald Duck and Goofy to stop an evil force known as the Heartless from invading and overtaking the universe.

Utada and Skrillex’s collaboration is titled “Face My Fears,” and the track is outside Skrillex’s typical atmosphere of cutting notes and hard drops. Instead, softer soundscapes and bubbly synth combinations make for the perfect backdrop for the video game’s storyline.
