Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Fred again.., Nero, The Chainsmokers With Kim Petras & More
The best dance songs of the week from Fred again.., The Chainsmokers and Kim Petras, Nero, Aluna and Aqutie, Ninajirachi and Mat Zo.
Where songs like “Fear Less” and “Just Saw You” offer a soft but powerful slow burn, others like “Places to Be” and “Glow” — a seven-and-a-half-minute joyride made with with old pals Skrillex and Four Tet, along British producer Duskus — are more outwardly energetic, a fast-pass to euphoria. Coming nine years after their last album Between II Words, I nto The Unknown completes a trilogy started with the group’s 2011 debut Welcome Reality, and longtime fans will certainly recognize the epic sound and style (and Alana Watson’s umistakable voice) that first brought Nero to the fore. On songs like “Quaaludes,” “Collabz” and “Shade,” brash beats meet prismatic melodies and vocals like bubblegum pop thrown in a blender, while “Rabbitholez” gleams with the ominous atmosphere of a full moon on Halloween.
