DousedDIIV

This is a popular track from DIIV’s first album, the band led by former Beach Fossils guitarist Zachary Cole Smith.

Honestly, it’s undeniably cool.

Its distinctive languid vibe and a touch of psychedelia give it great flavor.

In live performances, the tempo is faster and it’s easier to get into the groove.

It’s a Guns N’ Roses song that starts with a cool guitar solo.

It’s rooted in hard rock, but the melody is really good, and above all, the high-pitched vocals are awesome.

The guitar solo has a slightly bluesy feel, too, which makes it sound really great!

Attention is focused on the highly artistic music video—something unlike anything The Chainsmokers have done before.

The song itself is structured with a strong pop sensibility.

The club-style bassline is virtually nonexistent, signaling a shift in their direction.

While the progression is conventional, that’s precisely the point: they calmly let an emotional-sounding lead shine through with the use of filters.

This is a 2014 collaborative track by Chromeo, the Canadian electro-funk duo, and Toro y Moi, the American musician.

It doesn’t have much of Toro y Moi’s usual chillwave vibe, but it’s a cheerful, poppy tune.

GoGrimes feat. Blood Diamonds

Grimes is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for her distinctive mastery of genres like experimental, dream pop, and synth-pop.

Among her works, this track is one I especially recommend.

It’s a collaboration with Blood Diamonds, themed around reflections on dreams and reality, and the passage of time.

The song makes a strong impression by fusing electronic musicality with deep emotional expression.

Released in 2014, it later appeared in a remixed version on the Japan edition of the album Art Angels.

The music video alternates between desert landscapes and club scenes, making it visually captivating as well.
