This week’s DLC offers soulful sounds from two intensely innovative creators, Lil Nas X and Tiësto!
“MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” by Lil Nas X is on its way to heat things up in FUSER this week! One of the most beloved and successful artists in the world, Lil Nas X expands his success beyond his debut project which helped him become an AMA, Billboard, Grammy, and MTV Video Music Award-winning artist. RIAA Platinum-certified “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” has topped the Billboard Hot 100 at No.1 as his second number-one single after “Old Town Road”. Lil Nas X has an impressive list of accolades and continues to be recognized with his nomination for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” for “Hit of the Year” at the 2021 MTV Millennial Awards. We look forward to hearing the rest of his upcoming debut album, Montero, set to be released this year.
The lead vocal disc is overflowing with the sensual stylings of Lil Nas X accompanied by soul-soothing background vocals. The lead instrument disc features a spartan acoustic guitar riff that pulls inspiration from music of the Mediterranean region. The growling bass brings a gritty quality to the song, helping to ground the piece and offer a juxtaposing sound to the lighter and high-end noises scattered throughout the track. The unique rhythm featured on the drum disc mirrors the musical confidence displayed in the rest of the track and will help bring a worldly feel to your mixes.
“The Business” by Tiësto is an irresistible dance track from one of the biggest electronic DJs and record producers in the world! He is referred to as the “Godfather of EDM” by many. The song continues to climb the US Billboard Hot 100 and catapulted to the No.2 spot on the Billboard US Hot Dance/Electronic songs chart. This track also has received high praise worldwide and earned a number one spot on the charts in Tiësto’s home country of the Netherlands. This energizing track has rapidly become a fan favorite and continues to expand its reach having already been certified Platinum in Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom in addition to a 2x Platinum certification in Australia.
The drum disc offers a classic dance beat enhanced by the impressively produced quality of the loop. The crisp handclaps and sizzling hi-hat hits will help to round out any house or dance-inspired mix you might be making. The lead instrument disc and bass play off one another, with the bass offering a steady groove while the lead instrument loop delivers chill-inducing moments of musical emphasis with soft synth sounds. The lead vocal disc contains simple but memorable lyrics delivered by a totally unique and slightly distorted lead vocalist. Each element is satisfying in its simplicity and capable of delivering a resonant musical experience when combined with each other.
