In a time of anxiety and fear, Major Lazer delivers “Lay Your Head On Me,” an anthem of comfort and togetherness. Major Lazer enlists Marcus Mumford, of Mumford & Sons, to deliver a cross-over performance that overlays Mumford’s smooth vocals onto the type of electro-tropical beat that Major Lazer has made its defining sound. In terms of lyrical content, “Lay Your Head On Me” sees Mumford assuring his lover of his support through a difficult and even shameful time. The drop continues the good vibe with its warm, upbeat, and hypnotic melody that you can’t help but bop your head to. For any song, context is key, and “Lay Your Head On Me” is a timely reminder that with the support of others, everything passes. As listeners play the track cooped up in their houses across the world, they might, if only for a moment, be transported out of their living rooms and away from their anxieties.
