Track of the Day: Lost (ft. Emilie Brandt) – Illenium

Track of the Day: Lost (ft. Emilie Brandt) – Illenium

First off, my apologies for not having posted about Illenium’s new studio album Awake. It’s an incredible album from start to finish and really shows how he’s been able to perfect his melodic bass style.  I cannot stress enough taking the time to listen through the whole album.

“Lost” comes with a more progressive house vibe with an uplifting melody off-setting some relatively darker lyrics. Emilie Brandt’s vocals shine on this track especially when they’re layered. I personally can’t wait to see this one live.

Check out the full album below the video!

Heavy (Nicky Romero Remix) – Linkin Park ft. Kiiara

To answer your first question: yes, Linkin Park is still around making music. While the style now is vastly different from the early 2000s (borderline unrecognizable as the same band in my opinion), it’s not unusual for styles to change over time.

This Nicky Romero remix adds a layer to the original track that makes it lighter, yet stronger. His additions aren’t over the top however, which allows to the focus to remain on the vocals and lyrics which is really the driving force behind this song. Heavy could’ve done well with a Mike Shinoda verse as well, but maybe they’re saving that for a later edit.

So go ahead and throw this on and reminisce on those middle and high school years when everyone jammed out to emo music (you’re lying if you say you didn’t).
