It’s as if Diplo is championing a whole new take on world music by collaborating with a different international EDM producer for each track under his guise of Major Lazer.? On his recent track “Watch Out For This,” he reworked Dutchman The Flexican‘s “Buma Ye” with wild dancehall energy.? For “Lose Yourself,” rising Colombian producer/DJ Moska (championed by Tiesto) brings hard electro beats that are similar to some of his previous releases, with an element similar to what Otto Knows contributed to Britney’s “Work Bitch.” It’s not necessarily derivative, but you can definitely hear the evolution.? Jamaican dancehall reggae duo add the chant which gives a completely new flavor and dimension to the track.? Of course, it is the masterful combination by Diplo that makes it all work.? This is a track that will work for both electro big rooms and twerking hip-hop clubs.? The video continues the Major Lazer tradition of glorifying the posteriors of well-endowed females with creatively salacious choreography.? Filmed on location in Jamaica, I am just wondering if the goats are meant to symbolize or satirize the virility of men or if they are just being walked around to provide a focus other than the scantily-clad female dancers.
