Since last year's "Middle" (featuring Bipolar Sunshine), I've been keeping an ear out for more from DJ Snake... I was never a Bieleber, even guiltily, but suddenly, with his electronic pairings (Skrillex last year, now this) I've been caught on the hook. My conscience may cringe, but I'm giving into (nah nah nah) the lyrics and gonna let myself love it.
Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling!
There was absolutely no good reason for me to have waited all summer to add this song to our (guilty) Pleasures list - it is amazing and inevitable, you literally cannot stop the feeling. It is the best of Michael Jackson combined with the best of modern producing. Similar vibe to "Happy" by Pharrell, but JT's awesome text painting and change ups beat that catchy-but-repetitive summer hit by a mile. (Also like "Happy" it's been ubiquitous as hell, so I guess I was waiting to miss it a tiny bit.)
The Chainsmokers feat. Daya - Don't Let Me Down
The Chainsmokers drew a ginormous crowd at ACL last weekend. They probably should've been the closer that night in place of Kygo. This song is perhaps the main reason their popularity has soured recently. "Roses" featuring Rozes was pretty catchy as well, but Daya is simply on fi-ya in 2016. (Sorry)
