The Story Behind The Song

Zedd - "Clarity" and "Out of Time"


Listen Later

Season 3 of The Story Behind the Song continues with Russian-German DJ and producer Zedd! Zedd has achieved global fame for his innovative electronic dance music. Known for his distinctive fusion of progressive house, electro house, and dubstep, Zedd's tracks have resonated with audiences worldwide.

On this episode of The Story Behind the Song, Zedd shares the full story behind "Clarity" from its origin as a disgarded vocal from "Lost at Sea" written by Matthew Koma to how working with Lady Gaga helped him find time to work on his own album and then how he connected with Foxes for the vocal on the final recording. Then, Zedd goes on to talk about what led to his new album Telos (out now) and how working with Bea Miller led to not one but two songs, including the lead track of the album "Out of Time" and how he's found healthy balance between djing and partying as he's gotten older.
