Joshua Of K-Pop Powerhouse SEVENTEEN Reimagines SLANDER’s Dance Music Classic ‘Love Is Gone’

Following the success of their latest hit ‘Broken Hearted’ with San Holo and Julia Church, GRAMMY-nominated electronic music duo SLANDER unveils a powerful new collaboration with Joshua of SEVENTEEN. Their reimagined version of SLANDER’s global anthem ‘Love Is Gone‘ is now available on all major streaming platforms.

First release in 2019 with Dylan Matthew and later re-recorded as a stripped acoustic version in 2021, ‘Love Is Gone’ quickly became a viral sensation with over 1 billion streams across platforms. Now, Joshua’s warm, expressive vocals breath new life into the track while staying true to its emotional core. His intimate delivery, paired with minimal piano accompaniment, amplifies the song’s longing and melancholy — making it feel both nostalgic and brand new

“We are super excited to share the SEVENTEEN version of ‘Love Is Gone’,” said SLANDER. “Joshua’s interpretation brings a fresh emotional perspective to the track., and we’re honored to work with such a talented artist to create a new world for this song.”

This collaboration bridges two global fanbases — uniting SLANDER’s dance music audience with SEVENTEEN’s massive international following. It demonstrates the universal resonance of ‘Love Is Gone’ while celebrating the power of cross-genre connection between K-Pop and EDM.

As one of the vocalists in SEVENTEEN’s Vocal Unit, Joshua is well known for his gentle tone and emotive control. Since debuting in 2015, SEVENTEEN has become a dominant force in global K-Pop, with major milestones including Billboard 200 chart entries, multiple No. 1 albums in South Korea, and historical sales — most notably, 2023’s “FML” which sold 6.4 million copies worldwide. Fluent in both Korean and English, Joshua has become a key figure in expanding SEVENTEEN’s global reach and continues to captivate fans through both group and solo work.

Meanwhile, SLANDER continues to pioneer the melodic bass genre through their label Heaven Sent, while performing at iconic venues like Red Rocks to top-tier festivals including “EDC“, “Tomorrowland“, and “Lollapalooza“. Their upcoming “Voyager” Tour kicks off this September,featuring special guess like Blanke, NGHTMRE, Zomboy, William Black, and more.

This release is more than a remix — it’s a tribute to the timeless emotion behind ‘Love Is Gone’ and a testament to the ways music transcends language, genre, and borders.
