Listen to the remix HERE.

Speaking about the collaboration, Madeon said, “EARTHGANG have been doing amazing things for a while now, they’re one of the most creative acts around. I’m so excited they joined me on ‘No Fear No More, their contribution is more than I could have imagined, and has brought an entirely new dimension to the song.”

The duo behind EARTHGANG added,“We want to give people the strength to believe in theirselves and their dreams no matter what.”

Madeon began the Good Faith Era a year ago May with an effort to show fans and the world a body of work that showcased his artistic progression with an album that was written, produced, mixed and mastered, by Madeon himself. After listening to EARTHGANG for the first time, Madeon knew their sound and style was perfect to lead a new phase for Good Faith, with their contribution to “No Fear No More (Remix)” showcasing the way in which the critically acclaimed songs can be recontextualized by collaborating artists and features.
