On July 29th a new collaborative single by Fences  (alternative group from Seattle),  Macklemore and Ryan Lewis will premiere on a Seattle radio station.  The song “Arrows”  is packed with emotion and it could push the alternative band into Hot 100 territory.  Christopher Mansfield who is at the helm of the group has work with Macklemore before, the two met years ago while hanging around Seatle, Mansfield also co-wrote a song on Macklemore 2012 album “The Heist” (10,000 hour”).  Mansfield said part of the reason he wanted Macklemore on the song is because he speaks his mind about the fact that he doesn’t always feel like he has control over his story.

Mackelmore said “Fences is a good friend”, he f**ked in the same way the i’m f**cked.  Because of that, our lives relate beyond music.  I’ve always admired his talent for illustrating with words and evoking imagery.  We’ve made a bunch of stuff together over the years and this here song about Arrows is my favorite one we’ve done.” Mansfield said  “We have the kind of relationship where we call each other up and the answer is always just, sure, whatever you need,”   The album is available for pre-order  today and will be out Oct 14th.
