And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. The single was released through Grandmono, not to be confused with monogrammed towels. The label issued the track alongside Caro Emerald’s jazz-influenced pop explorations.
2. Jamie Hewlett directed the video with Jack Black. It’s a quintessentially quirky mix of animation and celebrity cameos, typical of Gorillaz’s visual flair.
3. Gorgon City’s album was initially titled “Kingdom.” Escaping from their original title, it eventually became “Escape,” not a run-of-the-mill name for albums.
4. Kasabian’s “Eez-Eh” appears on “48:13,” deeper than its numerical title. Aitor Throup directed the video, adding visual intensity to the track’s rhythmic flow.
5. Satirizing product placement and music industry excess, “I Feel Like Dancin’” serves up cultural commentary with a side of riffs from All Time Low.
6. The poignant lyrics in Ed Sheeran’s song reflect his friend’s harrowing pregnancy loss. It’s emotional depth merged with Sheeran’s lyrical sensitivity.
7. “Gold” boasted virtual plays on NBA 2K17’s soundtrack. Apparently, basketball goes hand-in-hand with electropop when it features Kiiara’s rhythmic snaps.
8. “Wall of Glass” doesn’t hide behind metaphors; it shatters them with its rock-fueled directness, fitting for Liam Gallagher’s bold lyrical stylings.
9. In Au/Ra and CamelPhat’s remix, a “panic room” creatively symbolizes turbulent emotions. The song finds its way into anxious minds through immersive beats.
10. Coldplay’s “Up&Up” took center stage at Super Bowl 50, infusing the event with its over-layered production and celestial optimism.
11. The Linkin Park remix graced the soundtrack of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Among colossal explosions, live performance added fuel to its driving beats.
12. Sampling Idris Muhammad’s 1977 track, Jamie xx and Romy’s song fused nostalgic soul with modern beats, a nod to timeless musical cadence.
