Mashed POP-tato #7

This week's mash up is between a Gallic dance wizard and a US pop diva, it's Madeon vs Katy Perry, 'Wide Awake for the Finale'!



'Wide Awake' was the final single released from the 'Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection' in 2012 and was considerably darker in both tone and lyrical content that some of the poppier moments of the megahit album. It was a worldwide smash that lodged itself in the top 10 of many charts and was a huge radio hit. 
'Finale', a single released by the French music producer also in 2012, is a tour de force of  stomping beats and sweeping synths that epitomises the Madeon sound. 
The reason these two work so well together is that it isn't dance overload, the production isn't too frenetic and keeps the slightly pensive nature of Perry's original song.
