Continuing to tease fans leading up to the release of their fourth full-length, Music Is the Weapon, EDM supergroup Major Lazer released the six-song Know No Better EP at the beginning of June in 2017. Typical of Major Lazer's genre-blending style and their mission to bring the world closer together by making the party bigger, the songs combine elements of dancehall reggae, house, trap, reggaeton, pop, and R&B. The title track features rappers Travis Scott and Quavo as well as pop singer Camila Cabello, and "Buscando Huellas" includes appearances from Colombian star J Balvin and dancehall veteran Sean Paul. The EP's energetic high point is the boisterous "Jump" (with Busy Signal), and the relatively cooled-off (but still entrancing) "Sua Cara" follows, adding some Brazilian flavor courtesy of guests Anitta and Pabllo Vittar. Jidenna, Machel Montano, and Konshens are among the additional names invited to the party. The guest list is extensive by most standards, but Major Lazer still manage to make it seem casual and effortless. Short and solid, the EP does exactly what fans expect, and it's all the better for it. ~ Paul Simpson
