Tiësto follows up his crossover dance-pop "Red Lights" with the second track "Wasted," from his upcoming long awaited first artist album in over five years, "A Town Called Paradise," was influenced by Las Vegas, set to release June 16th. The Dutch dance music megastar just debuted his video for "Wasted," which is basically a 'Mad Men' era fantasy of a ladies' luncheon devolving into a raging sorority girls gone wild pool party/pillow fight/dancing in your underwear thing. Since that's what usually happens when girls get wasted.
Tiësto loves to fill his life with electronic color, and he's accompanied by talented New York based singer Matthew Koma on this libatious track, "Wasted," combines elements from pop, rock and EDM, is an even bigger step away from the 45-year-old's usual hard-hitting trance/electro-house comfort zone. Koma sets the summertime tone singing of good times and puppy love. "I like us better when we're wasted," sings Koma over strummed guitar before the synths arrive. Right out of the gate, it's already a strong contender for "song of the summer" with its shimmering, unforgettable chorus and buoyant bounce perfect for days on the beach or by the pool and nights in the club.
On the other hand, this is possibly Tiësto's most commercial and radio-friendly song to date, straying away from hard drops and sticking to more pop-like sounds. The catchy pop influenced single couldn't be more fit for radio crossover yet still manages to maintain the Tiësto spin. Although many fans grew up with both Dutchmen for their roots in trance or electro house, their new songs are a clear indication of the skill these artists possess to make more outside their genre and think outside the box.
The Tabitha Denholm-directed 60's-themed clip follows quite an entertaining party of strictly women putting on the Tiësto record and letting loose as the song suggests. Tiësto and Koma even make cameos on the TV and have some really uplifting lyrics to accompany the sunny video, While Tiësto himself appears as a dreamy variety show host, and Koma as one of the musical acts. The costume and set designers nailed Palm Springs in the 60's. Nicely timed to the post-Coachella blues. The colorful video may cause many party people in the house to go into a trance, but hardcore fans will find it's easy enough to sing and dance along while staring at the video screen without losing the beat. If the women of 'Mad Men' had a pool party, watch it below.
