A neon-hued synth-pop collaboration that trades heavy festival drops for 80s-inspired textures and raw, late-night emotional honesty.
May 1, 2020 · Astralwerks
Be Kind represents a pivot for Marshmello, moving away from the aggressive trap-influenced drops of his earlier festival anthems toward a more sophisticated, synth-pop sensibility. The track is anchored by a pulsating, 80s-inspired bassline that feels both nostalgic and modern, providing a steady heartbeat for Halsey's vulnerable vocal performance. It is a song that lives in the space between the dance floor and the bedroom, offering enough rhythmic drive for a club setting while maintaining an intimacy that rewards solo listening.
