Major Lazer Ft. Ellie Goulding & Tarrus Riley – Powerful – (Because Music)

Major Lazer, purveyors of edgy pop, crunked out classics and razor sharp, crafted tunes return with a downtempo pop anthem that would be perfect on the next Fifty Shades Of … soundtrack. It’s an eyes closed, lighters aloft, side to side sway modern ballad that has grand finale embossed on it in gold disc. Gregor Salto amps it up for a grimy / garridgey nu-house affair with a slowed down vocal break in the swirly swooshy middle and a bassline so fat and nasty that even a pregnant elephant would look slim beside it. Raw.
