"Cheerleader" consists of three verses, a pre-chorus, and a chorus over the course of these five parts, OMI (a stage name for Omar Samuel Pasley) develops the state of his relationship with his narrator's girlfriend (and, it would seem, soon-to-be fiancee). The song is now much faster and feels more like something beach goers may prefer to dance to rather than to tan to. But the older version relies almost exclusively on the simple voice and drum duet, which OMI's bio on his website calls an "allegiance to simplicity." Why the difference? In late 2014, German DJ/producer Felix Jaehn got ahold of the song and transformed it into an Electronic Dance Music style. The current version of "Cheerleader" is focused mainly on drums and vocals with trumpet and piano throughout. The reggae, Jamaican-based hit was originally released in 2012 along with a music video and a few slight differences from today's version. Considering its driving reggae beat and recent EDM remix, there's not much to stand in its way. Many (including ) are putting their money down on OMI's single "Cheerleader" as the future sound of summer 2015. Ready for a summer of beaches and sunshine? Any pool-side party's going to need a soundtrack, and the music industry's going crazy trying to figure out exactly what it's going to be.
