After Lil Nas X combined rap and country music into his summer hit “Old Town Road” and did surprising collaborations with artists like Billy Ray Cryus and Mason Ramsey to name a few, the world has been looking for another genius combination of music genres. Artists all over the world have been mixing genres in search of the next big hit. The staff of the DailyER and Seeds Entertainment have been looking worldwide for the fall hit to start of your semester. Here are our top options:
“Help Me Clear My Head” – Zedd ft. John F. Kennedy
Using recordings of speeches of the former President, Zedd has made a dance hit that will be heard around the world. This masterpiece is a combination of electric house and spoken word/government propaganda. Zedd premiered the song during his tour in Dallas, Texas. It has received rave reviews from critics and historians alike.
“Don’t Be Sad Be Glad” – Sesame Street ft. Billie Eilish
Childhood television stars do a surprise collab with Emo Pop superstar Billie Eilish for a positive tune about feeling blue. Many might assume this is a song for children, but Eilish’s verse changes the song for a more adult audience. This song has the potential to reach as many people as 1-800-237-8255 by Logic did.
“Boo!” – Prince ft. Elvis
A surprise posthumous collab from Rockabilly star Elvis and the funk/rock/R&B/everything legend formerly known as Prince has surprised many listeners. This song combines elements of rock and funk with the music from horror movies to give a heartfelt and genuine representation of what the lives of these artists has been like since their passing.
“Thunderhead” – The Native Howl
This is the only song that is not a made up joke. It is real and can be found on Spotify. Combining Thrash Metal and Bluegrass surprisingly well to make a sound that, if personified, would be actor Jason Mamoa. Listening to it conjures images of Metallica in overalls, or farmers in Megadeth shirts. We genuinely recommend you listen to it once, just to say you have.
