Nine Inch Nails x HEALTH collaboration: 'ISN'T EVERYONE?"

quote:

---

“Isn’t Everyone” came about after Health concocted the idea that they would make an album of collaborations, rather than remixes, and sent Reznor a track they made with another artist and explained they hoped to build something from the ground up. The Nine Inch Nails frontman’s response, Duzsik said, was, “Oh, shite.” They sent Reznor a skeletal track, and he and his Nine Inch Nails partner, Atticus Ross, began meticulously working on it with them. “They take everything they do very seriously so it was very deliberate, with a lot of attention to detail,” Duzsik said.

What blew Duzsik’s mind, though, was that Reznor suggested they sing together. “Just for me personally, I want to hear [Reznor’s] voice in the song, not my voice,” he explained. “I don’t think of myself as being a terribly untalented musician or anything, but it’s kind of that line of — and this kind of music — the immediacy of the voice is what really emotionally moves people. There’s a reason why certain people’s voices touch people. It’s an emotional response.”
