Thumping 808s and hypnotic synth work are at the bedrock of Dounia's new single, produced by Skrillex.

Rising alt-R&B artist Dounia has poured gasoline on her blossoming career with the release of "Grey Goose," a nasty yet soulful hip-pop tune produced by Skrillex.

The Moroccan-American young gun shows out on her new single, which arrived alongside a seductive music video. "Grey Goose" represents the ideal musical situation in which production meets performance, as Dounia's feathery vocal flair seamlessly interweaves with Skrillex's hypnotic synth work.

Subtle shades of the Skrillex of old are also present in "Grey Goose." While it is of course nowhere near the head-banging dubstep style that fans crave, the track features thumping 808s that knock with the ferocity of some of his older trap offerings, like his flip of Marshmello's 2015 "Where Are Ü Now" remix. Dounia also realizes the importance of collaborating with electronic producers of Skrillex's acclaim. "I align with icons only, it’s kind of my thing," she told Hip Hop N More.
