An energetic dance single that’s ready to sweep you off your feet.
Grammy Award-winning, platinum-certified artist Tiësto is a DJ and producer who crafts hits you definitely won’t want to miss. Recently, the iconic artist teamed up with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, the “monolithic brotherly duo” serving as ambassadors of the worldwide phenomenon Tomorrowland. Along with the EDM superstar twosome, Tiësto also collaborated with Grammy-nominated DJ and multi-platinum producer Gabry Ponte, who is “one of the top 3 most-streamed Italian artists globally.” Together, they crafted the dance single “Mockingbird.”
Starting out with a soft xylophone solo, “Mockingbird” quickly cranks things up with pulsating dance-ready electro beats that pair perfectly with the track’s melancholic reflection. Lines like “Now hush, little baby, don’t you cry, Everything’s gonna be alright” and “Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya, Daddy’s here to hold ya through the night” boldly blend familiar lyrics from the iconic early 00’s single with infectious EDM. Fueled by its stylish fusion of nostalgic and contemporary elements and some sweet hardstyle-influenced dancefloor-ready synths, Tiësto, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Gabry Ponte gift us with an energetic dance single that’s ready to sweep you off your feet. So, press play and crank up the volume for “Mockingbird.”
