Out today is the newest release from Zedd, a collaboration with the talented Remi Wolf, entitled ‘Lucky.’ Zedd and Remi first teased the track this past weekend at Lollapalooza during Zedd’s headlining Perry’s Stage Lollapalooza Festival set when he invited Remi to join him on stage and play the track live for the first time. Keeping in line with his album announcement during EDC, Zedd’s Lollapalooza set ended in spectacular fashion with a 300 drone show above the finale reminding everyone that ‘Lucky’ is coming August 9th, as well as debuting 1 (800) 602 – ZEDD, a hotline containing a 2-minute minimax snippet from the album.
With a jazzy chorus that uses punctuated moments of silence to accentuate the bright synth melody, ‘Lucky’ soars between sophisticated structures and an easy-to-love dance-pop sing-along. Zedd and Remi Wolf started working on the song back in 2020, making this one of his longest working songs (which makes it all the more exciting to finally release to the world).
‘Lucky’ follows Zedd’s recent collaboration with Bea Miller, ‘Out of Time,’ released in June. The DJ/producer has been hard at work on his upcoming album, Telos, expected out on August 30th. Stay tuned for more details.
