While hardcore artist-turned-megaproducer/deejay Skrillex helped popularize dubstep into the mainstream and usher in an EDM-forward era of both pop music and rap, in the last several years, the multi-hyphenate musician has surfaced sparingly to collaborate with new and old friends.
When the avant garde artist (born Sonny John Moore teased new music on New Year’s Day, he subsequently dropped “Rumble” featuring Fred Again.. and Flowdan several days later and his latest release is “Way Back” with PinkPantheress and Trippie Redd.
A match made in heaven, the talented trio’s single contains a bubbling beat paired well with Tripe Redd’s trap-punk sensibility and PinkPantheress’ speedy yet delicate vocal delivery. The repertoire is more subtle than Skrillex’s usual material, with the vocalists singing about a “way back home,” specifically a person they love dearly.
