I’ll be honest, when I first heard this massive collab between two very much established artists I wasn’t immediately sold on it. The Chainsmokers have hooked the general public on simple chill future bass pop and it seems that a lot of other artists are trying to get in on this trend. Part of me wants to shame Zedd for following in this direction. I’ve been a fan of his since before “Clarity” and my first thought was that this was a “safe” song. But after coming back to it after a few listens, the catchy songwriting began to grow on me, and I like what he did keeping the production fairly minimal in parts. He’s still a really cool guy in my book, especially for throwing this upcoming fundraising concert for the ACLU at the STAPLES Center on April 3rd with quite the lineup of other socially conscious mainstream artists.
