Kygo remixes The Weeknd’s ‘Often,’ announces tour with Amtrac and Thomas Jack
The Weeknd’s R&B flexibility once twisted and turned into electronica when partnering with Kavinsky for “Odd Look” and with Diplo for “Elastic Heart,” and the crooner extends that trajectory in opening a wide lane with “Often.” Unveiled last month and already being tried by the hands of dance producers, Kygo steps up to execute best. With a mastered use of soothing sounds, tropical house, and ethereal energy, Kygo tailors his insignia around The Weeknd’s songmanship and proves the intersection to be a match made in SoundCloud heaven. While his rendition of “Often” is now being offered up as a free download, the young dance stud simultaneously announces a North American tour that kicks off during the tail-end of summer and spans the fall, where he’ll be joined by either Amtrac of Thomas Jack on each stop; dates below.
