The recent success of the Chainsmokers has been so impressive that there was almost no communal surprise to the recent video clip released of them working with Coldplay’s Chris Martin. It’s hard to believe that only four years ago, they were just getting started on their journey to fame.

I’m sure all of you vaguely remember inquiring who sang the agitating, yet catchy, song "Selfie." I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I love more than a predicted one-hit-wonder transforming into a highly respected artist. There is no doubt that The Chainsmokers are intelligent dudes if they can go from performing at the Hub at Penn State for free to selling out respected venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Even though their release of "Roses" in Fall of 2015 was a hit in all of its entirety, "Closer" has marked a new era for this dynamic duo. Now that there is a video of them working with such a decorated singer such as Chris Martin, the Chainsmokers’s solid choice of collaboration might just save us from having to listen to "Closer" one more time at college parties (no complaints here, though).

If I'm reading the message of that released video clip correctly, I’d be on the lookout for the Chainsmokers’s next song to incorporate the chill factor that Chris Martin’s vocals are known and loved so well for.
