Skrillex, Starrah and Four Tet Drop Eerie “Butterflies” Music Video: Watch
Skrillex, Starrah and Four Tet have unveiled the official music video for their collaborative hit “Butterflies.” The eerie video follows a group of friends as they gyrate through glittering city streets, tailed by ghostly figures. It’s a stark contrast to the video for “Too Bizarre” (with Swae Lee and Siiickbrain), which depicted a carefree, no-holds-barred basement punk party. “Butterflies” was Skrillex’s first official release since 2019. It effectively blew the lid off the hype surrounding his sophomore album, which fans have been clamoring for since he announced a wrap on production of a new body of work in March 2020. He’s remained tight-lipped ever since, however. Check out the official “Butterflies” music video b...
The 30 Best Songs of 2021 (So Far)
Best Album lists tend to earn all the internet hype — it always feels like a somewhat serious, academic endeavor, adding to the pantheon of OK Computers and To Pimp a Butterflys. But Best Songs lists are weirder, messier, even more challenging on a nuts and bolts level. (When was this song released? When was the album released? Does it need to be singles only?) While LP lists tend to follow the critical consensus, songs lists are harder to predict. And that makes them fun to explore. Below, we gathered our 30 favorite tracks of 2021 so far. (In this case, we decided songs from any 2021 albums were on the table.) And as you’ll notice, we swerved all over the map — from Bieber to Black Country, New Road. Let’s meet back here in six months and see how things shake out. Bachelor – “Anything At...
Listen to Skrillex’s Hypnotic New Single With Starrah and Four Tet, “Butterflies”
Skrillex has finally dropped the curtain on new music, unveiled a stunning new collaborative track with Starrah and Four Tet called “Butterflies.” Longtime fans of the dubstep legend may be dismayed at the lack of bass, but it doesn’t make the track any less impactful. “Butterflies,” which arrives by way of Skrillex’s OWSLA banner, is a hypnotic house banger that only reinforces his reputation as the most versatile producer in electronic music. The single begins with distorted vocal chops, which act as a siren song that leads into an alluring percussive beat serenaded by Starrah’s sultry vocals. What follows are three wholly unique drops, each of which rumble with the pristine engineering and nuanced sound design for which both Skrillex and Four Te...
Starrah Taps Skrillex, James Blake, More for Debut Album: Listen
Renowned singer-songwriter and producer Starrah has finally unveiled her debut album, the remarkable The Longest Interlude. Starrah’s experiences as a prolific songwriter shine on the new album, which spans 13 tracks. The record looks to be a watershed moment for the prodigious producer, who recently took home a Grammy Award for her work on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage Remix” featuring Beyoncé. A genre-bending fusion of hip-hop and sultry pop, The Longest Interlude features production from a number of elite producers. The record’s only traditional feature comes in the form of “Twenty 4,” a drowsy, hypnotic collaboration with Skrillex. While longtime fans of the dubstep legend may be dismayed at the lack of energy in the track, which is devo...
Skrillex, James Blake, More to Appear on Starrah’s Forthcoming Album
After releasing her debut solo lead single “How It Goes” late last year, Starrah is prepping for another new chapter with the release of her debut album. Due out this month, The Longest Interlude will feature an impressive list of collaborators. Taking her announcement to Instagram, the songstress tagged Nile Rodgers, James Blake, and Skrillex, among other renowned artists. The announcement of Skrillex in particular has piqued the attention of many in the electronic music community, as there are at least two unreleased IDs that we know of between the two artists. The first is “Twenty4,” a track Skrillex first played in 2018. The consensus is that—due to stylistic reasons—the dance-pop track is most likely the one to be included on Starrah’s fo...
