Zedd and Kehlani link up for vocal-centric pop-electronic hybrid, 'Good Thing'

There’s a difference between solitude and loneliness, and it’s the former that Zedd and Kehlani collaboratively celebrate on “Good Thing.” The emblem of a radio-driven pop-electronic hybrid, “Good Thing” has a mid-tempo, synth-reliant structure that supports Kehlani’s immediately recognizable vocal. The vocal hook is alluring in its sing-along potential, causing Zedd and Kehlani to check off one of the key constructive boxes for a commercially successful dance-pop record.

“Good Thing” is noticeably different in sound from the Katy Perry-assisted, four-on-the-floor house stomper,”365.” Although Zedd took a brief break from the vocal-centric, genre-crossing pop-electronic style that he showed off on “The Middle” and “Happy Now,” “Good Thing” reaffirms that this approach remains one of Zedd’s strongest sonic suits—and he’s still here to play.
