Track of the Weekend #128: Major Lazer - “Lean On” ft. MØ

Spring is here for us in Paris, and the cycle of life continues it’s never ending swing. As the flowers bloom you can feel the energy in the air, the people drinking next to the Canal St. Martin, music blaring from open car windows.
Capturing this funky moment is a track that almost became the Track of the Weekend a few weeks ago, but ascended to the summit of popularity when the Bollywood-style video came out this week. “Lean On” by Major Lazer and MØ is a study in contrasts: between the Danish MØ and the Indian setting of the video; the electronic riffs and the poppy feel; and between the lyrics themselves:
“Blow a kiss, fire a gun.”
