Today’s tour announce comes alongside a brand-new official remix of Electric Guest’s latest release “Dollar.” The feel-good, synth-filled remix from French rapper, DJ and producer 20Syl is available at all DSPs now; listen HERE. The incredibly talented 20Syl has previously remixed many accomplished artists such as Rihanna, Schoolboy Q, and Odesza.
“Dollar” was the first release off the duo’s upcoming LP which will mark Electric Guest’s first full-length release in two years, as well as their first new music since Taccone earned a GRAMMY® Award for co-writing and co-producing Portugal. The Man’s worldwide smash single, “Feel It Still.” The upbeat summer track debuted as a Zane Lowe World Record on his Beats 1 show and came accompanied by a music video directed by The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone and featuring an authentic, custom-built DeLorean hovercraft replica.
The original track received critical acclaim upon release, with Billboard proclaiming: “Electric Guest have made an eclectic return with feel-good anthem, ‘Dollar.’ Complex premiered the official music video and declared: “The track is representative of the duo's goal of entering this latest era with a desire to make straight up, unapologetic pop.”
Co-produced by Lars Stalfors (St. Vincent, Foster the People), Electric Guest’s new album sees Taccone and Matthew Compton pushing modern pop towards their own unique worldview, melding sunshine soul grooves and sugar candy hooks with ambitious production and a subversive lyrical power.
Electric Guest’s recent contributions to the pop landscape don’t stop with “Feel It Still.” Taccone and Compton joined forces with Carly Rae Jepsen to co-write and co-produce “Feels Right (Feat. Electric Guest),” the only feature on the pop star’s critically-acclaimed new album Dedicated. As extremely collaborative creators, each have recent credits on tracks for artists ranging from Cold War Kids to Aminé.
