The ever-influential dance music luminary, Skrillex, has surprised fans and critics alike with the unannounced release of his latest album, SOMA. Much like last year's Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol But Ur Not!! <3, the album arrived with minimal fanfare, its tracklist only revealed days prior on social media.
This new offering continues Skrillex's remarkable collaborative streak. SOMA is a tapestry woven with diverse sounds, featuring previously released singles like "Duro" with Young Miko, and "Thistle," a recent track alongside Blawan, Randomer, and MC Dricka.
Not long ago, Skrillex was often the poster child for mainstream dance music critics, a figure synonymous with the 'big, stupid' sound. However, his recent output has dramatically shifted that narrative. He remains immensely popular, evidenced by his upcoming headline slot at Chicago's Summer Smash Festival – a historic first for a non-rapper.
The shift in perception is palpable. The once-mocked haircut is now a distant memory, overshadowed by his consistent demonstration of spirited, playful, and genuinely inventive production. Each track on SOMA is a collaboration, bringing together an eclectic mix of talents including Chris Lake, Feid, ISOxo, Naisha, and Taichu.
Listening through SOMA reveals an artist who thrives on creative synergy, pushing boundaries and proving that his influence stretches far beyond the confines of any single genre. It’s an exhilarating journey, solidifying Skrillex's position as a vital force in contemporary electronic music.
