Emotions Without a Filter: A New Collaboration by Smash Into Pieces & Within Temptation

When two worlds meet that understand each other more through emotion than genre, something exceptional can emerge. That's exactly what happened with the new collaboration between Smash Into Pieces and Within Temptation, who have just released their joint single Somebody Like You.

This is no cheap, attention-seeking collaboration. Somebody Like You is an intimate rock ballad about vulnerability, longing, and the need for human connection — about moments when strength comes precisely from openness. The song is built on the powerful foundation of a 22-piece orchestra, giving it a cinematic dimension without ever overwhelming the emotion. Quite the opposite. Everything breathes with space, silence, and tension.

Within Temptation bring their signature symphonic depth and sense for dramatic build-up, while Smash Into Pieces add a modern, darker energy and personal urgency. Instead of a clash of styles, both bands meet exactly where it matters most — at the core of emotion. The result is a song that never feels overblown or overcrowded, yet lingers under the skin long after it ends.

The single is already available on all streaming platforms, and its story is far from over. The official music video — intended as a visual extension of the song's emotional world — premieres this week, and early hints suggest it will focus more on atmosphere than on a classic performance clip.

For Czech fans, this collaboration carries an extra layer of excitement. On April 26, 2026, Within Temptation will perform live at ROXY Prague, and there's little doubt that Somebody Like You will be one of the most powerful moments of the evening — in whatever form it appears.

This isn't a song trying to impress. It's a song unafraid to be quiet, fragile, and honest. And that's exactly why it works.
