Piano Republik

Major Lazer

A radical pivot into South African amapiano. Warm acoustic pianos and hypnotic log drums replace the usual festival drops for a soulful, sunrise-ready groove.

A sophisticated, sun-drenched rhythmic meditation that trades aggression for elegance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The seven-minute slow-burn of track 1 where the piano finally breaks into a bright, cascading melody.
The way the log drum drops into a deeper, more resonant frequency halfway through track 3.
The sudden transition from sparse percussion to a lush, harmonized vocal layer in the final two minutes of track 9.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
