Lost Frequencies & Bastille, Head Down | Song Review 🎵

Belgian DJ/producer Lost Frequencies collaborates with Dan Smith (of Bastille) on the groovy dance single, “Head Down.”

“Don’t hang your head down.” That’s the key lyrical takeaway from “Head Down”, a groovy collaborative single from Belgian DJ/record producer, Lost Frequencies (Felix de Laet), and British indie-pop band, Bastille.  In the chorus, Dan Smith repeats the titular lyrics over and over, ensuring that the uplifting message and vibes don’t fall on deaf ears.  As always, Smith’s British accent is pronounced, part of the charm of his performance.  Notably, he highlights the happenings forcing him to keep his head down.  But, of course, he gets the advice and inspiration he needs to bring him up:

“And you said

‘Hearts break, life can knock you to the ground

Don’t hang your head down, head down

You’re still young, but know the best is yet to come

Don’t hang your head down, head down.’”

Word. As for Lost Frequencies, he puts in work on the instrumental.  To reiterate, the groove is lit – arguably the biggest selling point of the instrumental.  But also, the backdrop is colorful, thanks to the keys, synths, and the rhythm.  “Head Down” was produced by Lost Frequencies and Johan Lindbrandt. Furthermore, Smith, de Laet, and Lindbrant compose the record alongside Dag Lundberg and Nicklas Lif.  All told, “Head Down” is a winner – an electrifying dance joint to spin well into 2024.
