(Although, to be fair, his last &quot;album&quot; was a 46-minute mix of 36 tracks.) Today Skrill even sent out a link to <em>Soma<\/em> to his email subscribers under his real name, Sonny, with the note: &quot;Feel free to share this with others as not everyone gets these emails. I&#039;m going to check it out too. <\/p>\n<p> In 2010, he made a splash with his American take on dubstep, defining the sound of American electronic music with compositions that resembled a rollercoaster ride through the apocalypse. He won multiple Grammy awards and released numerous side projects, yet never created anything that felt like an attempt to please the public, constantly evolving.<\/p>\n<p> This brings us to <em>Soma<\/em> , an experimental album featuring a mix of new and returning collaborators, including ISOxo, MC Dricka, Anita B Queen, Taichu, Chris Lake, Feid, Naisha, Blawan, and many more. This crew brings a variety of their own unique styles\u2014the beat on &quot;\u00c9 o Bonde&quot; is classic Lake, Feid&#039;s reggaeton permeates &quot;Noche Without You,&quot; and MCs Dricka, Taichu, and RHR bring the sounds and atmospheres of their native Argentina and Brazil\u2014together, it feels like Skrill is laying the groundwork for his friends to contribute to an album that, overall, sounds remarkably modern and relevant.<\/p>\n<p> But it&#039;s also entirely Skrillex&#039;s own creation: the scale, intensity, and harshness of the tracks represent the latest evolution of his historically heavy sound, while the lighter, more emotional moments harken back to the cerebral, ambient sound he&#039;s also been working with recently.<\/p>\n<p> Here&#039;s our ranking of the 13 tracks from the album. <em>Soma<\/em> .<\/p>\n<h2> 13. Skrillex and Naisha, &quot;Chini&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> Two of the lightest and most experimental moments on the album <em>Soma<\/em> are linked to frequent collaborator Naisha, whose vocals sound like they were sent from heaven. Thus, the track&#039;s chiming bells and glowing synths mesh perfectly.<\/p>\n<h2> 12. Skrillex, Naisha &amp; BEAM, &quot;Diwali&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> Completes the album <em>Soma<\/em> the playful &quot;Diwali,&quot; which features genuine laughter and vocals from Naisha and Jamaican-born American rapper BEAM, who also featured on Skrill&#039;s &quot;Hydrate&quot; <em>\u00abQuest for Fire\u00bb<\/em> 2023. While the track is a bit silly in its &quot;weeka weeka weeeee!&quot; moments, it quickly gets seriously hard-hitting, pumping up the bass and showcasing BEAM&#039;s Jamaican charisma.<\/p>\n<h2> 11. Skrillex and the novel &quot;Scut 2&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> The mid-album track &quot;Scut 2&quot; can be seen as something of a refresher: an experimental track built from a multitude of chopped-up drums and three voices: one frequently commands &quot;sit down!&quot;, another says &quot;okay!&quot;, and a third cryptically declares &quot;read-only memory&quot; at the end of the song.<\/p>\n<h2> 10. Skrillex and Young Miko, &quot;Duro&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> Released in March, a collaboration with Young Miko, &quot;Duro&quot; combines elements of hyperpop and Latin music to create a captivating, simultaneously heavenly and heavy-hitting spectacle.<\/p>\n<h2> 9. Skrillex &amp; ISOxo, \u201cAnybody\u201d<\/h2>\n<p> \u0412 <em>Soma album<\/em> Featuring two collaborations with San Diego wunderkind ISOxo, this track moves at a breakneck pace, fusing gabber and hardcore, creating the frenetic feeling typically associated with those genres. It&#039;s not quite the kind of hard music we&#039;re used to from Skrillex, but it certainly shares similarities with his own work. It&#039;s also fitting, as he seems to be spending a lot of time in Europe, where they hail from, lately.<\/p>\n<h2> 8. Skrillex, Chris Lake, and Anita B. Queen, &quot;Night 2&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> This second part, a follow-up to the trio&#039;s 2025 release &quot;La Noche,&quot; features Anita B. Queen&#039;s original vocals but otherwise departs from the straightforward sound of the first part. Instead, we get something far more experimental, with intermittent synths, like a soundtrack to how people of bygone eras imagined the digital utopia of the future. Preceding the final three tracks <em>Soma<\/em> , it&#039;s also a moment to catch your breath in this otherwise fast and powerful project.<\/p>\n<h2> 7. Skrillex, Dismantle, DJ 2K DO TAQUARIL and MC Dricka, \u00abPente Rala\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p> It&#039;s a clich\u00e9 to say a song rewires your neural pathways, but damn, there&#039;s something about the buzzing, bee-like bassline that dominates this collaboration with British bass producer Dismantle, Brazilian MC Dricka, and DJ 2K DO TAQUARIL that&#039;s on a whole other level. Combining a sleek guitar riff, percussion, a plethora of other drums, and a playful vocal with countless production flourishes, this track requires a good set of headphones to truly appreciate.<\/p>\n<h2> 6. Skrillex, Randomer, Blawan, and MC Drika, &quot;Thistle&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> Brazilian MC Dricka possesses a vocal timbre that cuts through sound like a knife, making her brash delivery the centerpiece of a cerebral production by Skrill, Randomer, and Blawan. The track quickly builds momentum from a percussive intro to the addition of Morse code-like synths, and ultimately, &quot;Thistle&quot; oscillates between ambient and sections of more complex, cacophonous percussion to superb effect.<\/p>\n<h2> 5. Skrillex and Nitepunk, &quot;Soma&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> The album&#039;s opening track, a collaboration with Nitepunk, first surfaced online about a year ago under the title &quot;Poosha\/Crisis Theme&quot; after Skrill premiered it during his set at Ultra Miami 2025. The album version is essentially the same song Skrillex fans have been talking about for the past 14 months, complete with the internet-famous &quot;PAPI BOOMBA!&quot; sample, with a surging bassline punctuated by drums and a nerve-shaking drop that sets the tone for the next 12 tracks.<\/p>\n<h2> 4. Skrillex and Fade, &quot;A Night Without You&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> In the &quot;I Didn&#039;t Expect This at All&quot; series, Skrillex teams up with Colombian star Feid and the late, great Italian producer Robert Miles for &quot;Noche Without You,&quot; which heavily samples Miles&#039;s iconic 1995 trance track &quot;Children.&quot; The original&#039;s emotional depth plays a key role here: the track seamlessly transitions into the iconic piano chords of &quot;Children,&quot; which Skrillex complements with his synths and reggaeton, while Feid delivers lyrics about the sadness of suddenly falling asleep alone. Love and its absence are rare explicit themes in Skrillex&#039;s work, making this track even more remarkable.<\/p>\n<h2> 3. Skrillex, Chris Lake and RHR, &quot;\u00c9 o Bonde&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> Skrillex&#039;s music often hits the mark, but it&#039;s rarely truly groove-driven. So the bassline on &quot;\u00c9 o Bonde&quot; (the title translates from Brazilian slang as &quot;this is the crew&quot;) is a treat, flowing smoothly into the beat with just enough crisp percussion, glitchy fills, and deft production (the build-up between 3:10 and 3:27 is incredible) to make it a Skrillex masterpiece. A collaboration with two frequent collaborators\u2014Brazilian producer RHR and English titan Chris Lake (Skrillex&#039;s partner since they collaborated on his first house compilation, OWSLA HOWSLA, in 2017)\u2014the track is bold, fun, and an evolution of the overall sound. <em>creativity<\/em> groups.<\/p>\n<h2> 2. Skrillex, ISOxo, Cristale and TeeZandos, \u00abSmoke\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p> Released on May 1st, &quot;Smoke&quot; is perhaps the best example of how Skrillex has evolved the early 2010s dubstep he made his name with into a sound that retains its power and aggressive spirit without falling into nostalgia or old tricks. Created in collaboration with ISOxo, rapper Cristale, and London drill artist TeeZandos, &quot;Smoke&quot; is a menacing, powerful, and chaotic track, racing at a breakneck pace and combining Skrillex&#039;s signature sharp percussion strikes with a sound reminiscent of a nail gun\u2014in a good way. And, of course, he absolutely rocks live.<\/p>\n<h2> 1. Skrillex, Tracy, Taichu and Anita B Queen, &quot;Trunks&quot;\u00ab<\/h2>\n<p> The track &quot;Tranki&quot; is a collaboration between Skrillex, rapper Tracey, Argentine singer\/rapper Taichu, and Anita B Queen, an Argentine artist of South Korean descent (who also featured on &quot;La Noche 2&quot;).\u00ab <em>Soma<\/em> (and was the soul of its 2025 predecessor, &quot;La Noche&quot;). Skrill uses every tool at his disposal, mixing trap, UKG, fast-paced beats, swells of pumping bass, handclaps, vocals in English and Portuguese, and a host of other elements into an intricate yet ultimately rather elegant track that, above all, is drenched in sass.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Billboard&#039;s Best<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p> Janet Jackson&#039;s Biggest Hits on the Billboard Hot 100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> Chart Review: In 1996, Mariah Carey&#039;s &quot;Baby&quot; soared to number one on the Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> Chart Review: In 1989, New Kids on the Block hit number one on the charts with &quot;Hangin&#039; Tough.&quot;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Subscribe to the Billboard newsletter.
