Dua
Lipa joins Diplo and Mark Ronson on the latest
track from their collaborative project Silk City. Released
by Columbia Records, “Electricity” comes accompanied

Silk
City, Dua Lipa - Electricity (Official
Video) ft. Diplo, Mark Ronson
Inspired
by piano-laden Chicago house classics, and employing a stunning
gospel vocal, the song came to fruition with lyric and melody
contributions from Romy Madley-Croft of The xx, Dua
Lipa and Diana Gordon, most renowned for working
on Beyonce’s Lemonade.
“Electricity”
follows the previous singles “Only Can Get Better” with
vocalist Daniel Merriweather, “Feel About You”
featuring Mapei, and “Loud” featuring Goldlink
and Desiigner.
Diplo, born Wesley Pentz, and Ronson named Silk City
for the Philadelphia institution where they first met in the
early 2000s. Longtime friends, the project is the two multi-platinum,
Grammy-winning producers’ first official collaboration.
Their next scheduled live performance is on October 13
at Treasure Island Festival in Oakland, California.

Early critical praise for Silk City…
“‘Only Can Get Better,’ is lustrous reverb-heavy disco with
echoes of garage music — a little Daft Punk, a little Armand
Van Helden. Ecstatic but controlled.”—The New York Times “[On
‘Feel About You’] the producers build a towering, multi-tiered
groove under Mapei’s soulful croon, mingling disco strings with
layered electronic beats and marimba-tinged synths.”—Rolling
Stone
“Imagine if Michael Jordan and LeBron James got the chance to
play on the same team in their primes. That’s essentially what
we’re looking at with the union of Mark Ronson and Diplo and
the launch of their new vintage club fare-inspired collaboration,
Silk City.”—Dancing Astronaut
“It should come as no surprise to anyone that the first track
from Diplo and Mark Ronson‘s new collaboration Silk City absolutely
bangs. ‘Only Can Get Better’ is the kind of summery house hit
that immediately transports you to a tropical beach party, giant
cocktail in hand, or a clammy Ibiza club where strangers become
best friends.”—NME
