‘Partners In Crime’ opens with a fast-paced riff setting the tone. Ozzey’s steady bass lines and Skye’s powerhouse drumming drive the song sturdy. Maronay’s electrifying synth adds a unique edge, complimenting Tyler’s passionate lead vocals looming loud, proud, and full of.

Marene is always looking for new ways to push their sound, and this track is a great example of what they can do when they work together.
Tyler Duggan (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar & Producer) comments on the track
“This is a special song to me, when I wrote the basic outline for the song back in 2018, it was something that I knew would push the band’s sound forward. We’ve always strived to be the band that gets the crowd dancing, and I think the perfect blend of rock and synth pop in this song does that. It’s a testament to our ‘sound’ as we’ve always taken inspiration from our heroes but have also chosen to go where they never did, and not just be a carbon copy and reinvent the wheel, but rather put our own spin on it.”
“Although our influences will always be a apart of who we are, it’s refreshing for me to listen to our songs and hear just how far we’ve come in developing a sound of our own. We hope everyone is going to enjoy ‘Partners in Crime’ as much as I enjoyed creating it. It’s a song that means a lot to us, and we hope it inspires you to take risks and cherish the moments you have with the people around you.”
Ozzey Padayachee (Bass & Vocals) comments
“As the bassist on ‘Partners in Crime,’ I can say that recording this song was an exhilarating experience. The energy in the studio was contagious, and we all knew we were onto something special.”
“The driving chorus and catchy lyrics had us all hooked from the start. I love the way this song sounds – it’s edgy and fun, with a hint of danger. Playing on ‘Partners in Crime’ was a thrill, and I can’t wait for fans to hear it. This song is all about letting loose and having fun, and I think listeners are going to love it just as much as we do.”
Skye Nagel (Drums) comments
“Recording ‘Partners In Crime’ was a great experience. It took me two full days in the studio to get my drumming just right, but Alan, the recording engineer, really helped make everything sound amazing on the track. It was a super tiring process for all of us, but totally worth it.”
“The energy in the song is insane, and my favourite thing about the song is that it reminds me so much of how it sounds when we play it live. The whole production of the track is just chefs’ kiss, with each instrument just blending in perfectly. I’ve always wanted to record drums in a studio so finally having the chance to do so was an experience that I’ll never forget!”
