Album Review: Skrillex & Diplo - Skrillex & Diplo Present Jack Ü

One of the joys of listening to an album from such distinct artists is trying to pick who was responsible for what.

Is this hook a Caribbean-spiced Diplo trademark or a piece of wobbly Skrillex melodrama? At its peak, the chemistry makes it an impossible question to answer. Beats Knockin builds with the intensity of an anxiety attack. Ke Ü There is a monstrous stadium filler, Diplo’s penchant for fun and Skrillex’s intensity combining neatly. Take Ü There is what “nu-soul” should have sounded like; heartfelt, dynamic, unrelenting. A singular success.
