Skrillex & Diplo's collaboration project 'Jack Ü' had their first single premiered on Radio 1 by Zane Lowe on September 15.

 

Safe to say I LOVE IT... and Kiesza! :heart:

On paper I had incredibly high expectations. Haven't listened to it I love the verses & Kiesza's parts but the breakdown is a "little" lacking for me. May be a grower as then it'll rank right up in dance terms this year.

Some interesting sounds but this doesn't go anywhere.

 

However, I like that Kiesza is using some deeper tones to her voice.

The drop is a little bit anti-climactic but I love Kiesza's vocals.

Skrillex & Boyz Noise > Skrillex & Diplo

 

 

Case in point

 

Better quality radio rip (with interview) from their official SoundCloud :)

 

Release date is now November 2nd (instead of September 30th as originally listed) which could mean some radio backing hopefully!

Diplo & Friends Mix from November 1st :)

 

EDIT: Also, #63 peak (so far) for Take U There. A lot better than I was expecting! R1 support has been great.

And on reflection this absolutely was a grower and I indeed do rank it right up there in my top 10 dance tracks of the year.

This would be so good if it wasn't ruined by that drop, underwhelming to say the least. Kiesza's vocals and the rest of the production are great.

Everything about this song is amazing, especially the drop imo. SHOCKED people are underwhelmed by it. :o

Skrillex clearly brings out the worst in Diplo :(

Usually love anything Diplo touches, but this not so much. May be also be partly due to my hatred of Kiesza's voice though.

The album has just dropped! :wub:

Hate it.

OMG 'Where Are Ü Now' *.*

 

'To Ü' is also pretty AMAZING.

I feel a bit embarrassed that I only just realized that Jack U is Skrillex and Diplo. I thought it was a new producer. :lol:

OMG 'Where Are Ü Now' *.*

 

'To Ü' is also pretty AMAZING.
