- winning producer and DJ, released his sophomore album, “True Colors.” A lot can happen in that time. Mostly, the German dance-pop maverick needed to push himself to make an album that would move the needle — one that told a story beyond the success of hisor “True Colors,” which he says was created to prove that he could not be placed into “this EDM box of making 128 BPM club bangers, because I have more to say.
ZEDD: I’ve enjoyed not putting pressure on myself, and just releasing singles. And of course, I always — in the back of my mind — I was like, I will make another album. But what am I trying to do, and what am I trying to say? And I came up with these concepts before ever starting work on an album. I wanted it to be meaningful and have some sort of concept behind it, not just, “Hey, I have a contract, I need to make an album.
So that kind of clicked and I realized, “OK, anything that’s coming from the heart is going to be put into this album.” And any emotion that I could kind of grasp, of what inspired me back in the day, I want to try to recreate in whichever way, to let other people feel what I felt back in the day when I was deeply inspired by albums.
I had this vision , and I told my manager, “This one is going to be the instrumental track or with Muse, but with nobody else.” There’s nobody I would consider, because Muse is an artist who works music this way. They oftentimes will take classical pieces and re-interpret them and make it their own.
