Con “Selfie” hanno ottenuto la hit internazionale nel 2013.Dopo una traccia da brividi (negativi) come la precedente,non pensavo che potessi ricredermi su The Chainsmokers,il duo prog-house newyorkese che torna con “Kanye”,incisa a quattro mani col duo indie-pop SirenXX da Los Angeles che ci mette anche la voce.La variazione sul tema con le strofe R&B è,nel suo piccolo,un’idea geniale.

TESTO

I have never wished and hoped
Didn’t need a telescope
To see where I am going
I have never been the one
Trying to hold my tongue
Is my stereo on

One day I’ll stand with a crown on my head
Like a God yeah, like a God
With every step, no, I won’t second guess what I want

I wanna be like Kanye
I’ll be the King of me always
Do what I want and have it my way
All day, like Kanye-eah, yeah, yeah
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah
I’ll be the king of me

Came from a broken home, okay
Single momma let me chase what I was made for
We be out to Paradise, build on nickels and dimes
I’m entitled to so much more

One day I’ll stand with a crown on my head
Like a God yeah, like a God
With every step, no, I won’t second guess what I want

I wanna be like Kanye
I’ll be the King of me always
Do what I want and have it my way
All day, like Kanye-eah, yeah, yeah
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah
I’ll be the king of me

I’ll be the king of me, me, me
I’ll be the king of me, me, me
Like Kanye-eah yeah-ah, yeah-ah

I have never wished and hoped
Didn’t need a telescope
To see where I am going
I have never been the one
Trying to hold my tongue
Is my stereo on

I’ll be the king of me, me, me
I’ll be the king of me, me, me
Like Kanye-eah yeah-ah, yeah-ah
