Song of the Day: Spectrum (Arty Remix) – Zedd

By 20-somethinglife | February 27, 2018

We’re bringing an old one back into the spotlight today with Arty’s remix of Zedd’s “Spectrum”. “Spectrum” is a track that new fans of Zedd and electronic music may not be as familiar with unless you’ve seen his live sets as it is a staple in those. It’s the quintessential true Zedd sound from when he first emerged into the spotlight and one that many wish he would return to instead of the pop-forward sound he produces today.

Arty took this track and put his own progressive house influence on it while retaining the shape of the vocals that made the original so enthralling. The build up is a little longer than the original, which in a way makes the drop that much more satisfying. It’s really a tough call to say which version is better. Take a listen to Arty’s version below.

Song of the Day (New Release): The Middle – Zedd

By 20-somethinglife | January 23, 2018

Zedd just released his new track “The Middle” this morning featuring Maren Morris and Grey. It’s evocative of “Stay” as it carries many of the same vocal styles and a minimal instrumental chorus opening. He seems to be taking his time to learn from fellow German Hans Zimmer on how to effectively use a clock ticking sound to add a sense of pace to his tracks (yes, that time pun was 100% intentional) as he’s included this in both “Stay” and now “The Middle”. There’s no doubt this song will be a hit so enjoy it now before it gets overplayed on the radio.

Here’s what Zedd, Maren, and Grey all had to say about this new release:

We worked really hard on this record to get it just right and it feels great to be able to finally share it with everyone. It was super fun working with Maren because she is clearly an amazing singer and very talented musician. And, I always love working with Grey because we push ourselves to make the best music possible and the end result is incredible. – Zedd

I met Zedd in Nashville several weeks ago when he came to town to record my vocal for “The Middle”. My fans know that my sounds is reflective of my many influences as a songwriter and artist and I think they’ll be ecstatic to hear this collaboration with him and Grey! – Maren Morris

Some songs come really quickly and naturally, but for a while there it seemed like this song didn’t want to come out. We ran into obstacle after obstacle, but we kept fighting for it because we knew this song was special. This is also our first time working with a country singer, and the different styles ended up fitting perfectly! SO glad that we can finally share this one with you, so enjoy! – Grey
