Skrillex "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites"
I had actually forgotten about this song until I was doing some research for today's post. The song is featured on the movie Spring Breakers, which tells the tale of college girls who go on spring break and end up getting involved with a drug ring. It actually has a fairly star studded cast, featuring James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez. Even more surprising is that the film, while it may come across as being another sex filled party film, has received a decent amount of acclaim. The soundtrack, while not necessarily garnering any awards, has a few major hits. One of those is today's selection, while the other one is "Lights" by Ellie Goulding. Skrillex was chosen to be one of the producers for the soundtrack, which in turn led the soundtrack down an EDM infused road. "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" was one of the more popular EDM songs of its time, and won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2013. It was one of the big songs in my opinion that led us into today's modern EDM that we hear on the radio. I hope you'll take some time to listen to it today.
