Even when it was played in a condescending ethnic-joke burlesque of who those people actually were - even when it was pretty aggressively racist - the notion remained: Different styles sprang from different people. There was a simple notion behind all this stuff, and it was the belief that music, like food, came from someplace, and from some people. You had your “Latin” numbers, your Hawaiian ones, your “Asian” songs - light ethnic pastiches laid out cheerily, like an international buffet that serves falafel one day and schnitzel the next, never too bothered about how accurate the recipes are. A nation that considered itself very space-age and worldly enjoyed quaint spins on sentimental Italian music (“That’s Amore” and its pizza pies) and Trinidadian calypso songs about hard, simple labor (“Day-O” and its bananas).
Sometime in the 1950s, the mainstream saw its last great gasp of this habit. This was how we reckoned with our melting pot: crudely, obliviously, maybe with a nice tune and a beat you could dance to. And of course there were the minstrel shows, in which people with mocking, cork-painted faces sang what they pretended were the songs of Southern former slaves. Some were sung in a spirit of abuse others were written or performed by members of those groups themselves. Vaudeville acts, for instance, had tunes for just about every major immigrant group: the Italian number, the Yiddish number, the Irish one, the Chinese.

SO glad that we can finally share this one with you, so enjoy! - Grey We ran into obstacle after obstacle, but we kept fighting for it because we knew this song was special. Some songs come really quickly and naturally, but for a while there it seemed like this song didn’t want to come out. My fans know that my sounds is reflective of my many influences as a songwriter and artist and I think they’ll be ecstatic to hear this collaboration with him and Grey! - Maren Morris I met Zedd in Nashville several weeks ago when he came to town to record my vocal for “The Middle”. And, I always love working with Grey because we push ourselves to make the best music possible and the end result is incredible. It was super fun working with Maren because she is clearly an amazing singer and very talented musician. We worked really hard on this record to get it just right and it feels great to be able to finally share it with everyone.
