Electricity

DAY 9

"Electricity"
by Silk City feat. Dua Lipa

I should preface this entry by saying that, when I first heard this song, I literally had no idea who Silk City or Dua Lipa was. But it was catchy as hell and a little familiar and I couldn't figure out why, so I looked into it, at which point it became one of those "Oh, it's the singer of that song and the guy who producer that other song." If you're clueless like me, Dua Lipa's other hits include "New Rules" and "IDGAF" while Silk City is a supergroup that includes Diplo, an American DJ who if you don't recognize by name, you might recognize as being part of other combo groups like Major Lazer (with Switch), Jack Ü (with Skrillex), and LSD (with Sia and Labrinth). Silk City is his collaboration group with Mark Ronson, most famous for "Uptown Funk" with Bruno Mars. These guys definitely have the pedigree to create a catchy song like this.

This song won Best Dance Recording at the Grammys earlier this month.

I don't have a whole lot of other information on this song and honestly no real, deep reason why it's on my current playlist. It's just catchy as hell and sometimes I need upbeat songs when I'm commuting and tired and listening to audiobooks or podcasts will make me even sleepier.
