Major Lazer – Cold Water (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ) [Official Lyric Video]

“Cold Water,” a 2016 track by Major Lazer, a dance group from Jamaica.

It’s an extravagant piece featuring none other than Justin Bieber on vocals.

True to tropical house, it showcases a conga fill leading into the chorus and a powerful refrain whose sound packs a punch that stands up to Bieber’s vocals.

Highly recommended for those who want something with a laid-back, slightly heavier beat.

Mike Posner – I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix) (Explicit)

This is a mellow track by American artist Mike Posner, opening with delicate arrangements and vocals reminiscent of Ed Sheeran.

The lyrics are deeply decadent and melancholic, portraying a former pop star past the peak of fame who puts on a brave face while harboring emptiness inside.

Yet the accompaniment is so refined that it never feels dreary to listen to.

Hats off to the light-and-shadow contrast—like a true pop art painting—drawn by the pop-culture giant that is America.
