Linkin Park is a band that can really take anything and make it gold. It's been three years since they brought some harsher sounds back with 2014's The Hunting Party, and after a quiet year in 2016, they're finally back and ready to take over again. They've completely changed their sound once again, and have teamed up with pop singer Kiiara for their lead single from their upcoming album One More Light, 'Heavy.'

It's very easy to write this song off as a generic pop-track and leave it at that. There's so much more to it that makes it more than the generic music you hear on a daily basis, though. Yes, the similarities are there, but that's not taking a look at the big picture. 'Heavy' is a song with real emotion in every inch of its being. From the way Chester Bennington belts "Holding on" after the dejected melody first verse to the simple but honest words of Kiiara's verse, this song has actual emotion in the ways it channels them. Perhaps the most emotional moment is the final bar of the bridge, the percussion and harmonies coming together to release all of the sentiments the song channels with the relatable lines "And I drive myself crazy, thinking everything’s about me."
