Watch our interview with Guy Sebastian and Sam Fischer below!
Singer-songwriter, producer and multi-platinum ARIA award winning Guy Sebastian has teamed up with acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Sam Fischer on Antidote. We caught up with the duo to go behind-the-song and unpack the track.
Produced by Guy alongside Grammy nominated Michael Fatkin (Natasha
Beddingfield, Jessica Mauboy, Stan Walker, Daryl Braithwaite, Tina Arena), the song is introduced with delicate piano melodies and the Sebastian's inimitable soothing vocal tones. As the track progresses, Sebastian and Fischer trade lines above a swelling soundscape, creating a harmony between two male artists that is rarely seen within contemporary love ballads. Antidote builds with the addition of ethereal guitar work, drum loops, building to a spiritual climax that captures the songs thematic exploration of an unconditional, life-saving love.
Late last year, Sebastian celebrated two decades of his career with performances at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt. Dubbed his 'XX Double Decade Celebration', the performances marked the anniversary of the musician winning Australian Idol at very same venue where he was crowned.
