A bold return to dancehall roots, introducing America Foster as Major Lazer’s first in‑house vocalist
After half a decade without a self‑contained project, Major Lazer are back with their highly anticipated mixtape GYALGEBRA, released via Mad Decent and Because Music. The new record signals a bold return to the group’s roots, reviving the outsider dancehall energy and genre‑bending unpredictability that first catapulted them onto global dancefloors with anthems like “Pon De Floor” and “Watch Out For This (Bumaye).”
The mixtape also introduces a new chapter in the collective’s evolution: the official debut of Major Lazer’s “First Lady,” America Foster. As the group’s first in‑house vocalist, Foster’s presence is felt across five tracks, bringing a fresh dynamic to their sound. Her standout moments include the lead single “BRUK DOWN,” a collaboration with choreographer‑artist Parris Goebel and rising talent SadBoi, as well as the solo cut “Peppa Pot,” which channels the spirit of ’90s dancehall with a modern twist.
GYALGEBRA stands as a release that reflects both reinvention and a defined creative vision. By weaving together dancehall, electronic, and pop influences, Major Lazer reaffirm their reputation as genre disruptors. The mixtape’s eclecticism mirrors the global reach of their fanbase, while its raw energy recalls the unpredictability of their early days. For listeners, it’s both a nostalgic nod and a forward‑looking experiment, designed to ignite dancefloors worldwide.
With GYALGEBRA, Major Lazer prove that reinvention and legacy can coexist. The project underscores their presence in the dancehall‑electronic sphere and anticipates new creative alliances and stage moments. For fans and newcomers alike, the mixtape is a reminder that Major Lazer remain one of the most daring collectives in contemporary music — and that their next chapter is only just beginning.
