SONG OF THE DAY: Andreas Rodlund & Matt Hewie ft Roland Richards – Monismania?

In case those 2014 remixes of Zookey (Lift Your Leg Up) left you a little cold, here’s a better song featuring ragga singer/toaster Roland Richards.? When we last heard from the Swedish producers Andreas Rodlund and Matt Hewie, they were working with the powerfully and ethereally-voiced Jonny Rose on “Ultimatum” and “All We Have.”? Keeping a similar EDM production style, pretty progressive verses/drops with a banging big room electro chorus, they switch it up with the reggae singer who sings and toasts over the different sections of the song.? The results is quite fresh and different and unlike anything else out there right now.? The only confusing thing is the song title, meaning “world of money” and coming most likely from a Swedish children’s story about the evils of overtaxation.? How this relates to the “peace and love” vibe in the lyrics, I am not quite sure.

SONG OF THE DAY (SUNDAY FUNDAY): Ariana Grande ft Zedd – Break Free

The Nickelodeon star turned pop princess is gradually growing up, with the edgy and sexy (for her) duet with Iggy Azalea crossing over to become her first pop hit. Time for her to hit the clubs with a full-on EDM track. While she has had club remixes in the past (“Right There,” “Baby I,” “The Way”), this is her first full-on original dance production, courtesy of Zedd. It sounds pretty much like you would expect, a very pop production with excellent vocals (comparisons to early Mariah Carey have been abundant) and so many catchy hooks that you would think Zedd wrote this for Katy Perry instead. With the radio success of “Problems” and the recent Zedd collaborations, this will no doubt get massive success and probably lead to even more major collaborations for Zedd. Flashback to when BT worked with ‘N Sync, we can expect a lot more of that over the next few months.
