Listen to Kygo & Dillon Francis’s collaboration ‘Coming Over’
The long anticipated Kygo and Dillon Francis collaboration is finally here. Debuted during Kygo's performance at Coachella this past weekend, "Coming Over," featuring the vocal talents of James Hersey, finds both artists contributing the best of their abilities to create an absolutely gorgeous poolside pop hit. The cross-section of Dillon's downtempo beat work and playful vocal chops with Kygo's tropical house aesthetic work in tandem to create a blissful and airy output that's driven by Hersey's catchy refrains. It's an interesting output from both artists; Kygo ditches his familiar synth and Dillon tones down his energy for what is destined to be a staple in every EDM fan's summer playlist.

Thomas Jack, an Australian who coined the term tropical house, was hand-selected by radio mogul Pete Tong as a leading tastemaker in the modern day music sphere with the probable potential of curating his own station on BBC. Where big room house once stood and dubstep was once primed to do, tropical house has now achieved and in record time.
