Clean Bandit – Rockabye (feat. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie) [Official Video]

The British electro trio Clean Bandit are musicians well worth keeping an eye on.

Their 2016 track “Rockabye” crosses genre boundaries, featuring reggae singer Sean Paul and singer-songwriter Anne-Marie.

At first it sounds like a tropical house EDM track with a beautiful melody line, but then reggae rap kicks in, making it an exceptionally satisfying listen.

It’s a number that earns full respect for its taste, showcasing a masterful mash-up with a heavyweight from the reggae world.

DJ Snake – Let Me Love You ft. Justin Bieber

DJ Snake’s “Let Me Love You ft.

Justin Bieber” is one of the songs I highly recommend to people who usually listen to Western pop music.

The vocals are by pop singer Justin Bieber, known for hits like “What Do You Mean?”, so if you already listen to pop in English, it may feel familiar and approachable.

The track’s tempo is also on the slower side for EDM, which makes it a great pick for beginners.
