\"\"<\/a>Major Lazer<\/strong> released the album \u201cFree The Universe<\/strong>\u201d and the first reaction is just great! In the iTunes Charts is the album after 1 week in the top5! Let\u2019s have a look what the critics say:<\/p>\n

\u201cDiplo and his project Major Lazer is on a high level an experience and in 2013 it will be a global power, that\u2019s for sure! His co-conspirator Switch<\/span> may have moved on, but with producer Diplo<\/span>‘s bag of tricks and his hipper-than-hip selection of guests (including major help from producers Jillionaire and Walshy Fire), the Major Lazer<\/span> mythos — he’s a DJ by night and a Jamaican zombie killer by other nights — is alive and twitching on this sophomore release. So the second album was born, the mix is magic: jungle, rock, electro and many more. This welcome return begins deceptively with the slow-burning kiss-off “You’re No Good” starting the show, but the combination of marquee vocalists Santigold<\/span> and Vybz Kartel<\/span> couldn’t illustrate the left-field-dance-meets-Jamaican-dancehall style of the project any better. Once the credits roll on the cinematic track, it’s straight-up bonkers time with “Jet Blue Jet,” a bleeping, furious, trap music cut where dancehall don Leftside<\/span> leads the pack and offers a Baauer<\/span>-challenging version of the “Kingston Shake.” Since naughty ragga lady Lady Saw<\/span> didn’t show up, Peaches<\/span> and Timberlee<\/span> face off on “Scare Me,” a punany power meets synth pop cut with some amazing video game chase scene music providing the bridge. Power puncher “Wind Up” is raw enough to be a hit back home for Elephant Man<\/span>, the great “Watch Out for This (Bumaye)” finds Busy Signal<\/span> macking over moombahton beats with a fantastic air horn and disco break in the middle, and fat track “Bubble Butt” is like Bruno Mars<\/span>, Tyga<\/span>, and Mystic<\/span> formed the Ying Yang Triplets just to prove that crunk ain’t dead. Those who blew their minds and\/or speakers pumping the project’s 2009 debut will find it familiar ground, but how Free the Universe<\/span> arguably tops Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do<\/span> is with the meatier, more subdued cuts, as Dirty Projectors<\/span> vocalist Amber Coffman<\/span> explores the connections between King Tubby<\/span> and Alicia Keys<\/span> with the elegant R&B dub of “Get Free.” Later it’s the imagining of Vampire Weekend<\/span> holding a session at Kingston’s classic Studio One as VW<\/span>‘s Ezra Koenig<\/span>‘s croons over the scratchy reggae groove of “Jessica,” and while the Flux Pavilion<\/span> feature “Jah No Partial” has the bass drops to get the mall kids rolling, it’s still a weighty, soul-filling number that could have easily fallen off a Damian Marley<\/span> album. All that, and there are still great performances from Wyclef<\/span>, Shaggy<\/span>, and Laidback Luke<\/span> to go, so think of Free the Universe<\/span> as Major Lazer<\/span>‘s second great modern ragga meltdown.\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0There are already 3 videos from the album: \u201cGet Free<\/a>\u201d,<\/strong>, where Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors is hosting.<\/span>
\n The second video is \u201cJah No Partial<\/a>\u201d.<\/strong>and the newest is\u201e<\/strong>Watch Out For This (Bumaye)<\/a>\u201d.<\/strong>
