Stuck In My Skull 472 -- "Leave the World Behind"

Song: "Leave the World Behind" || Artist: Swedish House Mafia and Laidback Luke feat. Deborah Cox || http://youtu.be/_HMP36Jb0EM (video; radio edit) || http://youtu.be/xG4AhAnyqvE (original mix) ||

Comments: Good morning everyone! We're going to start off another week of great music with a classic track from Swedish House Mafia and Laidback Luke. The artist on this track is listed as all three members of SHM under their own names, but this is definitely Swedish House. It's a classic of that dynamic trio, and neatly folds the influences of Laidback Luke into a typically Swedish House upbeat club track. Their steady beats are about as fast as their usual fare, clocking in around 130 BPM by my count, but the track feels a little more relaxed than most of their hits. On top of the typically Swedish House beats is a wonderful piano line and features the vocals of Canadian R&B singer Deborah Cox. Both mixes of this song are excellent, but as I originally heard the song in an album meant for continuous play (Until One), I prefer the original mix. While it's true that too many chefs ruins the soup, four DJs definitely do not ruin this song. Check it out, and remember to enjoy the day!

Comments: So far, this song is taking the 'most artists in the credits' award. I originally encountered this song on the Swedish House Mafia album "Until One," and promptly fell in love with it. Hopefully the quality and unique sound of this song makes up for the lateness of this post. Enjoy!
