"The Trouble with Us" is a song by English DJ Marcus Marr and Australian musician Chet Faker, released on 16 October 2015, as the lead single from their collaborative extended play (EP) Work.

Background

[edit]

Faker and Marr first connected via social media. In a media press, Marr explained Faker had posted one of his songs on Twitter. Marr messaged and thanked Faker and a conversation began. They exchanged song ideas and agreed to do something together. The pair met in Marr's South London recording studio in 2015 and recorded the 4-track EP in four days. "It was a real thrill as the songs came together," Marr said. "As far as working out lyrics and music, [Faker] is super-talented".[1]

On 15 October 2015, "The Trouble with Us" received its world premiere on Triple J on Good Nights with Linda Marigliano, before being released the following day.[2][3]

Critical reception

[edit]

Katie Cunningham from Inthemix described the song as an "intergalactic funk-tinged track".[4]

Sally McMullen of Music Feeds described the song as being "fuelled by catchy hooks and a funk-flecked guitar riff, it's a fun-filled track that would be an absolute killer live".[5]

Music video

[edit]

The music video, directed by Kinopravda and filmed in Korda Studios, was released on 10 December 2015.[6]
