Well, “Upside Down” has got you covered. Robin Schulz and Joel Corry are dead set on delivering an inescapable anthem, bridging the gap between pop and electronic music in their own respective styles. As the song kicks off with subtle, pulsating chords and its melancholic vocal chorus, dramatic synth pads further paint the picture, building tension towards a rowdy, highly effective drop.
With its clean kicks and mesmerizing gated vocals, the beat is bound to drive madness onto the floor, gaining strength on fierce percussion and frivolous, pitched up vocals. For this, the guys cunningly employ the playful production tricks by Koppy, a cheeky cat who’s been making crafty moves recently on the Mentalo imprint, including collabs with Robin Schulz, Timmy Trumpet, Henri PFR and Wave Wave. It’s a joint effort in full effect, aptly getting things in motion with its powerful groove and temporized, pop tinged intermezzos, inviting massive singalongs when played live, followed by sweaty moves and jubilant hands in the air. “Upside Down” is where you’ll go, just follow Robin Schulz and Joel Corry with that wild cat on their leash, and euphoria is never far away.
