While I haven't necessarily held up my end of the bargain by talking about pop music in 2014 as much as I would've liked, I'm also trying to be picky on what I ultimately go in on. This Nico & Vinz track "Am I Wrong" is a global monster of a hit right now and is honestly a guilty pleasure of mine. Not so much the lyrics or even the vocal performances, but there's something incredibly right with the overall vibe of the tune. It sounds heavily influenced by The Police and while that's definitely tough to pull off, the results can be magic (see Bruno Mars' "Locked Out Of Heaven" for additional reference). And of course, leave it up to the extremely deft producer, Esta, to bang out a super chill and vibed-out version of this hit tune. The vocals are general left in sequence but are certainly pitched and tweaked with some heady layers of drums and spacey effects. I feel like working DJs just got a little late night/end of the set weapon right here, honestly.
