Stay (ft. Maty Noyes)

Ugh, Kygo just keeps killing it in every good way possible. Honestly, I don't see how someone could not like him or his tunes. He stays true to his work and it continues to be incredibly eloquently produced. Also, the fact that he's incredibly good looking doesn't really hurt either. His latest, "Stay," has some great vocals by Maty Noyes and I always enjoy seeing the track preview by piano via his Instagram (see below). Enjoy and let the good vibes roll.

Firestone

... no not like the tire company, but more like Kygo has been on fucking fire... musically, and let's be honest, physically because he's smoking. Does it get any better than a gorgeous Norwegian DJ who posts Instagram videos of himself playing piano? Ugh, no, it does not. Looks aside, it is always interesting to hear a DJ's first original mix when they normally stick to remixing tracks. In some cases (ahem....The Chainsmokers, RE: Selfie, Kanye, and Polkadots), I have mixed feelings... but Kygo pretty much kills this first attempt at original material. I was unsure at first about the powerful voice of Conrad (don't know who that is) in this track but, the somberness of it balances well with Kygo's classic (or klassic, idk) upbeat rhythms and synth. Keep it up and stay beautiful, Kygo.

Katching Up With Kygo

As aforementioned, Kygo has an ability to remix songs without taking anything away from them and adding his signature "tropical house" sound to create absolute dreams of tracks. I am hoping to see him in Chicago in October with Thomas Jack, which would just be the epitome of chill as fuck (kind of kidding, but not really..). Anyways, here are some of his latest, as he makes The Weeknd sound even sexier than normal (who knew that was possible) and Coldplay's "Midnight" even more mystic.

Shine Remixed

I'm still trying to figure out what makes Kygo's remixes so desirably catchy. The constant rhythm definitely helps but at the same time I feel like the upbeat-ness of his tracks add an almost Disney-like quality to the original of the song that I can't quite fully explain (correct me if I'm wrong here). For some reason it seems like I could be going on a safari with Timone and Pumba to this beat, in every good way possible. Maybe it's just that Kygo keeps things pure and simple in the way that other DJs just erase. I don't know, but I do like it.

Another one of my favorites by him is his remix of "Younger" here:
