Best Songs of 2015 – #8
‘Lean On’ – Major Lazer & DJ Snake feat. MØ
Here’s a song I initially resisted before finally succumbing to its charms.
Those charms include singer MØ’s alien charisma and serpentine dance moves in the song’s irresistible video as well as the “ay-oh” ear worm that separates the chorus from the verses.
Crawling up Billboard’s Hot 100, reaching its peak position (so far) at #4, is Major Lazer’s ‘Lean On.’ My family was introduced to this track several months ago by the soft-spoken 13-year-old son of a friend.
Major Lazer (a trio currently made up of popular DJ Diplo along with lesser-known DJs Jillionaire and Walshy Fire) enlisted Danish singer MØ to handle lead vocals on this song. She also contributed Gwen Stefani-esque dance moves to the colorful video below.
