Thailand’s premier rock band, Slot Machine, is ready to take flight once again with their latest English language single, Skyline—a soaring anthem that captures the rush of being on the edge of something new and electrifying. More than just a song, Skyline serves as a bridge—connecting audiences across Asia through shared emotions and the universal language of music.
Executive produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Ryan Tedder, Skyline fuses anthemic choruses, dynamic instrumentation, and electrifying hooks into an exhilarating sonic experience. Produced by Andrew DeRoberts—who has worked with global chart-toppers such as OneRepublic, Khalid, Lukas Graham, John Legend, Julia Michaels, Lauv, and Tate McRae—with lyrics penned by Irish singer/songwriter Robert Grace and DeRoberts, the song captures the thrill of stepping into the unknown, making it an uplifting anthem for love, adventure, and self-discovery.
“There’s a reason we are drawn to gazing at the ocean. It is said that the ocean provides a closer reflection of who we are than any mirror. Look for what you notice but no one else sees. Maybe you will find one at the Skyline.” – Foet, frontman of Slot Machine
Accompanying the single is an epic music video directed by renowned filmmaker Tanapol Kaewpring, produced by O/T. The video mirrors Skyline’s euphoric rush, blending breathtaking imagery with dreamlike sequences. From floating above the clouds to dramatic monsoon storms, experience the sense of weightlessness and adventure encapsulated in the MV here.
Milestones from “Walk The Earth”
Slot Machine’s previous single, Walk The Earth, has been a significant success, marking a new chapter in their international journey. Since its release in November 2024, the song has surpassed 10 million YouTube views with nearly 60% of views coming outside of Thailand. Walk The Earth was also recently awarded Best International Song of the Year at The Guitar Magazine Awards 2025 in Bangkok, further cementing Slot Machine’s regional impact in their new chapter.
Expanding Musical Horizons Through Collaborations
Slot Machine’s commitment to evolving their sound and broadening their reach is evident in their collaborations with a range of prolific producers and artists, including Steve Lilywhite, Ryan Tedder, MAYDAY, Timmy Xu, Violette Wautier and more. These collaborations have allowed the band to push musical boundaries, enhancing their appeal not only regionally but globally. The band’s theme song “Free Fall” for the drama series KinnPorsche resonated deeply with Southeast Asian audiences, charting on viral lists across multiple countries. Their collaboration with Chinese star Timmy Xu on Super Cool and performances alongside Taiwanese rock legends MAYDAY have further solidified their place as an influential regional force.
Looking ahead, Slot Machine hints at more exciting, meaningful collaborations with local artists in the near future, further strengthening their ties within the regional music scene.
Bangkok Music City and Commitment to Regional Engagement
Most recently, Slot Machine headlined the closing night of the Bangkok Music City (BMC) Festival, a two-day event that brought together artists from across Asia in a celebration of musical exchange. Reflecting on the experience, the band shared, “Being part of BMC was an eye-opener. Watching other regional artists perform, sharing ideas, and realizing how much we have in common musically—it’s something that keeps pushing us forward.” Their performance at BMC underscored their dedication to fostering deeper connections with Southeast Asia and Taiwan’s music scenes, reaffirming their enthusiasm for long-term engagement with these markets.
Looking Ahead
With Skyline, Slot Machine aims to continue their journey of connecting with audiences across cultures and countries. “Music is a universal language, and we love seeing how our songs resonate differently in each country. With Skyline, we’re excited to take our sound to new heights and explore even more collaborations across the region,” the band shares.
