Who’s ready for a roaring remix?

.

New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde is back with the third single release Homemade Dynamite off her number one album Melodrama which was released mid this year. However, the songstress has put a spanner in the works as she’s teamed up with the biggest names in R&B this year including Khalid, Post Malone and SZA to create a fire remix of the track. Lorde first rose to worldwide success with the release of her debut single Royals in 2013 and has since created waves in the music scene at such a young age.

If you listen to the original version of Homemade Dynamite, it already feels so complete you wouldn’t even think about changing it. However, Lorde has worked her magic and has created a remix that not only sounds better, but gives the track that extra oomph it needs to bring out its melodic potential. By adding R&B artists to the remix, it’s given the track a completely different mood that wouldn’t have been present beforehand. The instrumental of the song is quite interesting as it’s a cross between an alternative feel mixed with a little bit of dance. It’s super chill and it rides really smoothly from start to finish. It’s a beat you would expect to hear walking into a raging house party.

The lyrics on the other hand aren’t really words I’d expect from a Lorde track. The track follows a story of the moment you meet someone at a party and fireworks spark that predict the night to be explosive. Lorde uses the chorus to describe the feeling of adrenaline you get being surrounded in a party environment with your friends drinking and making fiery waves. Khalid, Post Malone and SZA all get their own verse where they sing about their experience at this particular party that makes you want to be there with them 100%. They all share a chorus each with Lorde that really builds up the track and gives you a different perspective of the story from each artist.

The energy and vibe of this track is the perfect warm up for the summer ahead. It’s a good-feel sound that will make you want to sing and dance along with its fun nature. When I think of Lorde, I think of older tracks such as Tennis Court and didn’t think this direction for her would be what I’m listening to in 2017. However, her ability and talent to write and produce music makes wonders, as her musicality still feels completely authentic in everything she puts out. If you didn’t think the words Lorde and party would go together in one sentence, well they do now.
