Fontaines D.C. release first collaboration with Rosalía
Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. have released “Where Is Gone?,” a song featuring Spanish singer Rosalía.
It is the first time the band has included a guest artist on one of its records.
The track is a dramatic ballad with strings and echoing guitars, and both singers perform in English.
It will appear on Fontaines D.C.’s upcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which is due out Friday.
The band has already released two other songs from the album, “Marianne” and “Tongue.”
Band member Carlos O’Connell said Rosalía’s work with Spanish musical traditions felt connected to the group’s efforts to carry on Irish music.
Fontaines D.C. have also announced a North American tour for 2027.
Fontaines D.C. released “Where Is Gone?,” a duet with Rosalía and the band’s first song featuring a guest vocalist.
The track is the third single from the Irish band’s forthcoming fifth album, Dopamine Chamber.
Guitarist Carlos O’Connell said Rosalía’s connection to Spanish musical tradition resonated with the band’s efforts around Irish music.
The album is due out October 16 via XL.

What people are saying
I’ve been a fan of ROSALÍA since her debut album, which was absolutely beautiful. What really excited me was how she was keeping a Spanish tradition of music alive, which in a spiritual way felt akin to what we’ve tried to do with Irish music. For someone with roots in both countries, it’s been beautiful to see. She’s an artist who’s blown me away at every stage since.
It seemed very akin to what we were doing at the time.
