As in our press release earlier today here, Linkin Park are gearing up to drop a brand new single entitled 'Heavy,' and have opened up about the track in a new interview with Billboard. 

On the upcoming new single, which includes guest vocals from singer-songwriter Kiiara, member Mike Shinoda explained that it's a really exciting release for them:

"We're super-excited about the song, and the excitement around it has been kind of crazy. We've put out a lot of first singles, and I've actually kind of been taken aback by the amount of excitement over the song and everything."

When asked how the track came about, Shinoda said: "The band, with every album, every song we're trying to challenge ourselves. We like to try new things. We want to explore new territory with the sounds and the songwriting. We've always been about mixing styles; I mean, Hybrid Theory was the name of our band before we changed it to Linkin Park. Linkin Park fans know that with every album you never know what you're going to get, and the style can change dramatically and different elements, different genres that we listen to might sit more in the forefront than others."

Their new and seventh studio album, entitled 'One More Light' is set to be officially released on May 19.
