Lana Del Rey vs. Cedric Gervais, “Summertime Sadness”

Who would’ve guessed that one of Lana’s most angst-ridden anthems would become the surprise dance hit of the season? French DJ/producer (don’t worry, we’re about to narrow it down) Cedric Gervais turned this 2012 single into something as terrifying and beautiful as Lana herself, and if I heard it in a club, I might actually hide in the restroom until it was over. Still, I’d have to shake a shoulder to it in one of the stalls.

Ideal dancefloor: The ballroom of an exquisitely dilapidated Italian villa, or a rave at your therapist’s office.
