Bright: The Album is one of the more interesting musical projects we’ve seen in a minute. The soundtrack to the new Netflix film is filled out with an array of unexpected musical collaborations, including a track put together by Neil Young and DRAM, which I personally can wait to wrap my head around. Amongst the standout selections from the record is a piece titled “Darkside” worked up by Future and Ty Dolla Sign, with an assist from Kiiara.
The song itself is melancholic in tone and feel. Kiiara provides a tender vocal hook that introduces the track and Future plainly goes off. In his verse, the Atlanta super-trapper goes so far as to refer to himself as the next coming of Kanye West. “Watch for the throne, I’m like Yeezus / They trying to clone me, thinking I don’t see ’em / They take subliminal shots thinkin’ we don’t hear ’em / I’m one-of-a-kind, that’s how I’m gon’ kill ’em.”
In addition to Future and Ty Dolla Sign as well as Neil Young and DRAM, Bright: The Album also features collaboration between Steve Aoki and Lil Uzi Vert, and a song cooked up by ASAP Rocky and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine.
