Why? Because that's where all the DJs are coming from, of course! Avicii, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia (that one's a little self-explanatory). And now working with Ariana Grande, we have another Euro DJ trying to break into the mainstream: Cashmere Cat.
Now Cashmere Cat's been on the scene for a while now, but it's his work with Ariana Grande that has increased his buzz. He first helped produce her My Everything album in 2014, and today we're going to look at his newest single, another collaboration with Grande, titled, "Adore".
Now Cashmere Cat and Ariana Grande work together to create a song that works pretty well. Ariana Grande's dreamlike vocals complement the dreamlike sounds used by Cashmere Cat, and the slow buildup accumulates to the chorus, where Ariana begins crying out and her vocals reach her peak in the song. The song works throughout. It's not the best I've heard from Ariana Grande, but it's a solid effort all the same. She's still a little mumbly through some of her words, but she and Cashmere Cat work together to create a solid mood throughout the song. However, is this song enough to propel Cashmere Cat to the Billboard hot 100 mainstream? Let's find out!
Hot 100 Success:
Will he have it?
This is exactly the direction that pop music is going. With artists like Disclosure notching a Top 10 hit, I don't see why Cashmere Cat couldn't do the same with this, especially with a big-name star like Ariana Grande on the track.
Should he have it?
He's solid enough that I'll give him a pass. I'd maybe like to see a little more effort put into his songs, but as is he knows how to create a mood and work with his singers. Sure, let him in.
