Collage (EP) (2016)

“The Chainsmokers songs are clearly simple with emphasis on repeating elements such as featured female vocals and sweet synths. Most of their lyrics are just what you would except from general pop music: at least somewhat shallow with themes of love and heartbreak. However, they do incorporate detailed, personal lines that seem to resonate with their listeners and truly paint a lyrical picture. ‘Collage’ does deserve credit for persuading listeners to dance. It’s great for running on the treadmill or for getting pumped up before a fun night. Many music fanatics may see The Chainsmokers as superficial and generic, it cannot be denied that they have mastered the secret recipe for producing commercially successful music.” (Bearcast Media)
