Music Is the Weapon by Major Lazer
Music Is the Weapon is an album by Major Lazer, released in 2020. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lay Your Head On Me”, on 5 lists with a best position of #8.
Music Is the Weapon, Major Lazer's fourth studio album, finally dropped on Mad Decent on October 23, 2020, five years after Peace Is the Mission and after a long run of mixed messages. First announced in 2015, it was renamed Lazerism in 2019, then switched back, amid talk that it might be the group's last. It was also their first album since Jillionaire left, with Ape Drums stepping in alongside Diplo and Walshy Fire.
Diplo produced it, and the recipe is the one Major Lazer built their name on: reggae and dancehall bumping up against reggaeton, soca, house and moombahton. "Lay Your Head On Me" shows the softer, sunnier side of the crew. A deluxe edition, Music Is the Weapon (Reloaded), followed in March 2021.
