Major Lazer


The two words on everyones lips are Major and Lazer. The hype is prett-y mass-ive for Gun's Don't Kill People...Lazer's Do, the debut collaboration from Diplo and Switch. The first real track to drop was Hold The Line featuring vocals from Mr. Lex and Santogold. Suprise, suprise. Being a huge fan of Santogold I was pretty stoked. But shock horror, I don't rate this song! The phone vibration and ringing effects irritate me to the max and so I have trouble appreciating anything else.

But never fear, I'm really liking some of the other tracks off the album. I heard Keep It Going Louder on the radio today and instantly fell in love. And whilst I still love it right now, I cant help but wonder (...yes Carrie?...) that this could ALMOST be a Rihannon feat. T.I. or Neyo feat. Kelly Rowland. Autotune and all. You know what I'm saying? Tracks like When You Hear The Bassline are definetly about bringing reggae and dancehall to the Diplo/Switch loving masses. Where as Keep It Going Louder feels like the reverse-bringing the sugar sweet pop to the DJ's. That don't matter, I still love it. I'm just saying.
