Swedish House Mafia and Alicia Keys Ponder the Passage of Time in Long-Awaited Single, “Finally”

After teasing the track for nearly two years, Swedish House Mafia have “Finally” released their hotly anticipated collaboration with Alicia Keys.

Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso are no strangers to high-profile collaborations, working with Pharrell, A$AP Rocky, the Weeknd, Sting, Future and more since debuting back in 2009. Now they’ve shared “Finally,” a reimagined version of Kings of Tomorrow’s Defected classic of the same name, alongside the R&B great Keys.

Her vocal talents are front and center, but the iconic Swedish trio take the spotlight and amplify it with dramatic keys that build to an anthemic breakdown rich with radiant synths and pounding drums. Their production beautifully accompanies Keys’ lyricism, achingly pondering the time spent waiting for a loved one before the track’s energetic climax, which reflects the electric moment of reuniting.

The new single arrives after another long-awaited track in the Swedish House Mafia lore, “Lioness,” which released back in June.
