A decade in the making but only 37 minutes of pure ear candy, Zedd’s new album “Telos” is like a fine art painting—a little confusing but oh-so-beautiful!
Zedd, l’Artiste Électronique par Excellence
Anton Zaslavski, aka Zedd, has long proven his artistic chops by churning out billion-stream earworms like “Stay” and “The Middle.” Now, he’s dipped his toes into the big pool of experimental sounds with “Telos”, a title that literally means "the end" in Greek—talk about setting the stage for drama!
“True artistry isn’t about making what people expect; it’s about showing off what’s genuinely you.” - Zedd
Le Voyage Musical de Zedd
Our man Zedd revealed that he cut his potential future hits to make room for emotions, showcasing growth—and wisdom! The opening track “Out of Time” dabbles in a textbook EDM vibe, showing Zedd’s signature synth prowess while riding smoothly into “Tangerine Rays.” If that track were a drink, it’d be definitely a watered-down lemonade—refreshing, but missing that kick!
- Highlight 1: In "Shanti," Zedd combines Hindu wisdom with electrifying beats. Sounds like a yoga class gone wild!
- Highlight 2: “Sona”—a track so unique that Zedd’s friends couldn’t label it. Think of it as a rave... hosted by Hobbits; charmingly bizarre!
- Highlight 3: And let’s not forget “Lucky,” featuring Remi Wolf—it's got all the EDM feels wrapped in a blanket of feel-good vibes!
With "Telos," Zedd proves he can drop tracks that are not just built for the club but also resonate emotionally. “Let’s be fun, let’s be weird,” he seems to say with each beat drop. So don your glow sticks and listen—this album is a journey worth the ride!
