Song: "Somewhere Up Here (Drop the Poptart)" || Artist: Deadmau5 feat. Colleen D'Agostino || http://youtu.be/5kqdkNp-uW0 ||

Comments: Hello and happy Friday, everyone! Today I'm bringing you one of the most confusing tracks that I've yet tried to research. The internet spent quite a long time going back and forth about whether this song would be on the upcoming Deadmau5 album or not, and it finally appears that the answer is "sort of." It looks as though this song is being cut into a shorter instrumental track and the vocals have fallen away entirely, but it's hard to tell until the album itself comes out. But leaving that question to the side, let's talk about this track itself. Quite frankly, it's amazing. Granted, there are two spots in this YouTube upload where there are brief audio glitches, but I've chosen to use this one anyway because it contains a working download link to a complete and un-glitched song. And this song is totally worth it. It's absolutely amazing. Ms. D'Agostino's vocals blow me away, and Deadmau5 has built an amazing track accompanying them. Honestly, it reminds me a bit of "The Veldt," in that they're both long tracks with great vocals and a somewhat relaxing tempo that's really driven by the melody. Overall, they're both gentle, for lack of a better term. That's not to say that this song doesn't have some aggressive beats -- check out at around 1:50. Like many of my favourite Deadmau5 songs, this one is characterized by an intricate instrumental and possesses incredibly crisp percussion. Seriously, his kick drums (are they even kick drums?) are so clean, with a bit of a sharp overtone that really drives a beat. Honestly, I can't say enough about this track, and I can't wait to see in what form (if any) it appears on the upcoming album. Give this a listen and a download! The link is on the YouTube page.
