Zeds Dead respond to criticism on Major Lazer collaboration

[OxyKon]

After receiving a bit of backlash for their recent collaboration with Major Lazer and Elephant Man, “Turn Around,” bass-heavy duo, Zeds Dead took to Facebook to issue a response to their fans. “We’ve never tried to be just one thing or let genres define us,” the duo announced on Facebook earlier this evening, acknowledging that they understand the hate surrounding the dancehall track but arguing that their real mission is to show people the sounds and styles that they like.

Join in the conversation on their Facebook page. They welcome all discussion concerning the new track.

Since we've seen a lot of mixed reviews here we wanted to take second to discuss our new Major Lazer/ Elephant Man tune "Turn Around'.

We love all types of music and have always tried to pursue sounds we dig. If you've been following us you'd see that we've never tried to be just one thing or let genres define us. We make what we like, and every day it's different. Some of you are fans of just one of our styles some another, some several but variety is part of what makes us who we are. You may not be down with everything we put out but just know we never put out something that we don't fully stand behind.

We are big fans of dancehall (see Undah Yuh Skirt) and Turn Around is very much a dancehall track more than anything. It's not what some of you expected and we knew there would be some hate but at the end of the day we're trying to expose you to the sounds we like and we love the tune.

We welcome discussion here.

Seriously. As a major Zeds Dead fan anyway you can deffs see it does roughly fit into there style anyway.
