[ESP] [ENG] Mi Opinión sobre: Don´t Get Too Close (Reseña/Opinión) || My Opinion about: Don´t Get Too Close (Review/Opinion)

Hello hive and peakd community, readers, creators and keepers! how are they?

Today I want to talk about Skrillex's new album, Don't Get Too Close, the artist's third studio album, just one day after releasing Quest For Fire surprises us with a second album full of collaborations, including Justin Bieber, Trippie Redd, Swae Lee and many more!
And without further ado, let's get down to business.

We start the album with another collaboration between Skrillex and Bobby Raps to open the project, with the same lyrics as let me like this but with a more melancholic tone, at the end of the song is an excerpt from Alan Watts - The Dream of Life.

The piece is supposedly about “the quantum physics idea of the multiverse, the Buddhist idea of reincarnation, with a dreamlike interpretation. Fully explaining the reason for suffering and the joys of life.” I know, it's deep xd.

This is the first single from the album that brings us a collaboration between Skrillex, PinkPantheress & Trppie Redd with a fast rhythm and a very well integrated romantic lyrics, being one of the best Skrillex songs in recent years.

My only complaint is that it's a very short 😅.

Selecta is one of my favorite songs from this project, again with excellent production from Skrilex and a new collaboration with BEAM to create a lively and exciting track.

This theme being the only one so far with a music video, bringing two young artists, Yung Lean & Bladee being a commercial song, calm, without much noise, pulling a bit to the rap genre but that is not leaving aside its electronics to do a good song from her, enjoyable.

Real Spring is a song written by Bladee and produced by Skrillex. It's a deeply meaningful song and, considering the specific kind of Bladee mysticism he's been working on these past few years, it's not outrageous to say this song could be the culmination of his spiritual journey. Spring is all about rebirth and the same is true in numerology for the number nine, which Bladee has written about widely in recent years.

Bladee has been known to sit on the tracks for many months or years, e.g. Crest was recorded in 2020 and released in 2022. Bladee worked with Skrillex at least before Yung Lean's Stardust was released; he watches Summertime Blood, so it was possibly recorded at the Stardust sessions. Many of the lyrics in this song are modified lyrics that Bladee has already used on The Foo' or Good Luck, which were released five months apart, just before Bladee's first solo painting exhibition with the same title of ' Real Spring9´

Summertime is a classic KId Kudi song but this time produced by Sonny, with the same theme that has been used throughout the album, romantic.

Once again, he mixes the rap genre with electronics to create a catchy and well-done song..

Something that surprised me is to find Chief Keef in this project, but he did it very well, breaking the main theme of the album talking about how they should stay away from each other, or that everyone should be with someone else.

Corbin with some very good vocals and Skrillex making a very good track make this song one of the best.

3am for me is the best song on the album, the whole vibe it brings is just perfect, the lyrics are very good even if they are very simple, the production again does not disappoint us.

Prentiss & Anthony Green's vocals are perfect for this song, 10/10.

This being the oldest track, coming out in 2021 brings us Justin Bieber and Don Toliver who sing about wanting their loved ones to stay by their side, as discussed on the July 1, 2021 single, "Stay," a collaboration. with The Kid LAROI.

Just days after the album is released, Skrillex does not give his last single from the project, where he brings us the fabulous voice of Bibi Bourelly and Sonny Moore (Skrillex) himself, to bring us a very emotional song, full of many feelings from both of them. artist.

To be honest, there are very few songs that have made me cry and this is one of them, it's that you can tell that there are many feelings and it's not because they release another song but because they really feel that way.

On this track we have a return to Swae Lee, this marks their second official collaboration. She is also co-produced by Dubstep producer Virtual Riot.

It's a short song but being produced in a very good way.

As the last track of Don’t Get Too Close, this song also caps off Skrill’s QFF/DGTC project. After teasing the vocal sample on social media and at his performance at Second Sky, Sonny and Porter would sample it in Still Here before releasing Painting Rainbows, which appears to be the original composition.

While the song mostly consists of Bibi’s motivational gassing up, the intro, outro, and first verse appears to be an account of a graffiti artist being arrested and the speaker being interrogated by the police in an attempt to incriminate him.

My conclusion is that I can't choose between this project or the previous one, both seem very good to me, very enjoyable and with songs of all kinds, on this album he goes more to a producer than a DJ, but obviously it doesn't detract from no song, everyone has their tastes and this project seems to me to be one of the best.

Many complain about the "new Skrillex" but I honestly think that what you do you do to do it or do it for the rest and you no longer have that passion that you had before, so it is better to start from scratch or change, like what Sonny did, I personally like this new Skrillex, it seems to me that he has more heart for what he does and he seems happier than before, but obviously I miss the old Skrillex, but I don't dislike hearing projects like this.

I give this album an 8/10, it has everything and very well done, I would give it a higher grade but there are really some songs that I can skip because I don't like them that much or something like that, but overall it's a very good album.
