[Electronic] Major Lazer & DJ Snake – Lean On (feat. MØ)

Major Lazer & DJ Snake
Lean On (feat. MØ)

Major Lazer and DJ Snake aren’t names you’d generally associate with laid back vibes but they’ve both proven versatile in their ability to go the chilled-out route. Today, we get one of several anticipated collabs between the two with “Lean On,” featuring talented Swedish vocalist “Lean On” carries a smooth island feel matching MØ’s flawless voice, which exudes her perfected pop sensibility. The addicting chorus employs DJ Snake’s signature vocal manipulation but, rather than tear the roof off, it builds an infectiously uplifting groove. There’s some parallels to be found between the beauty of this track and “Get Free,” another gorgeous Major Lazer tune guided by a powerful female voice. Give this one a spin above–we can guarantee it’ll be in heavy rotation after one listen.

Aerosol Can (feat. Pharrell Williams)

The year of Pharrell carries over into 2014, as the Grammy award winning musician collaborates with Major Lazer for this brand new single. While he’s worn many hats throughout his career (including this very ugly one), it seems like it’s been an eternity since we’ve heard from Pharrell the rapper. Premiered earlier today by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio One, the N.E.R.D. frontman sounds perfectly at home on this beat, enough so that you’d think he produced it himself. Stream the track above, and be on the lookout for Major Lazer’s new Apocalypse Soon EP, set to drop on Februrary 25th and include additional features from Sean Paul, Machel Montano, RDX, Moska, and Mr. Fox.

No Guns Allowed (feat. Drake & Cori B.)

After Snoop Lion premiered his brand new single live on Conan last week, fans have been hotly anticipating the song’s official release. The final version, which Snoop uploaded to SoundCloud today, features a brand new verse from Drake, as well as vocals from his own daughter, Cori B. As a major player in the West Coast-East Coast rivalry of the early-90’s, it’s great to now see Snoop reversing his stance on gun violence and standing up against it. The song also features a side of Drake we really haven’t seen before, as he reflects on the tragic loss of some friends due to shootings last summer in Toronto. Although there is no download link yet, those interested in this song will be able to find it on Snoop Lion’s upcoming album, Reincarnated, dropping April 23.
