After much fanfare about potentially speaking out on their current lawsuit pending against them by former member Kristopher Trindl, Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf of Krewella went on Twitch, the popular video game streaming platform, to reveal a new song: "Say Goodbye." Instead of it being an interactive live stream, which they scheduled for yesterday, Nov. 23, at 5 p.m. PST, it was just an initial play of their new single "Say Goodbye."
Over the past few days, Krewella have been back in the headlines after the initial shock of Trindl's allegations wore off. The sisters filed their own counterclaim to Trindl's lawsuit, and then on Friday updated their Facebook page with a new logo and cryptic photo with the words "Say Goodbye" written faintly in white over a black background.
These recent events have put the three of them back in the spotlight, and with the new Krewella single it appears the sisters are moving on from Kris "Rain Man" Trindl's involvement in the group. The track has an emo punk rock sound, mixed with some elements of drum and bass and hard-hitting electronic riffs.
It carries a lot of emotion, epitomized by the chorus:
It still kills me,
That I can't change this,
But I'm still dreaming I'll rewrite the ending,
So you'll take back the lies before we say our goodbyes
As alleged by both parties in their court documents, there has been a lot of outside help brought in to assist producing Krewella's recent work. It will be interesting to see who is producing their current music, especially "Say Goodbye." We will see what sound they decide to champion moving forward in this new era for the group.
It would have been interesting to see if they had actually done an interactive live stream, but that was probably wishful thinking since the lawyers would nix that idea for legal reasons. You can stream the track now via Krewella's SoundCloud and a free download is available on their website.
