    Diplo’s electro-dancehall project scored a Top 40 hit in 2015 with the buoyant “Lean On.” Those good vibes continue on Peace.

    It’s so ludicrously colourful and loud and just the right side of ridiculous and whatever the mission may be, domination is the likely result.

    The best cuts here happen to be those hewing closer to Major Lazer's wake-and-bake dancehall origins. [No. 121, p.57]

    The more restrained moments, such as hit single Lean On, nicely accentuate the crazed moombahton intensity of tracks such as Blaze up the Fire.

    Nostalgia might be a bias while measuring it up, but I do feel like this is quite a good DJ album. It's got some of the better radio hits youNostalgia might be a bias while measuring it up, but I do feel like this is quite a good DJ album. It's got some of the better radio hits you would've listened from the mainstream radio stations in 2015, so even if it sounds dated, you can still appreciate it as a time capsule full of bops. Expand
