GENERATIONWHY

An extraordinary debut from one of dance music\'s most promising producers, *GENERATIONWHY* is a shining example of contemporary electronic music that exercises restraint. Like a seasoned tour guide, Zhu weaves sounds and textures together so smoothly—kittenish synths, fat trap horns, wailing guitars, and his own husky R&B vocals—that you hardly notice the ground you’ve covered until it’s over, and you’re left wanting more.

Zhu first gained attention with massive 2014 last-call club hit “Faded,” but his debut album is bloated with bland, often downright bad dance music.
