Den 25-årige Anton Zaslavski aka Zedd er blevet det helt store hit de seneste år takket være sin dansable og bombastiske popmusik i spektret mellem eurodance og EDM. Det er sådan en slags musik, hvor celebre sangerinder lægger stemme til fortællinger om hjertekvaler og eksistentiel tomhed under discokuglen i nattelivet, tilsat flommefede synthflader og dunkende rytmer. I Zedds tilfælde har Hayley Williams fra Paramore, Ellie Golding og Bright Lights allerede været forbi, og på "True Colours" gæster blandt andre Selena Gomez, der har en fortid i Disneys renskurede sitcom-fabrik. Samme Gomez har Zedd i øvrigt datet, indtil hun droppede ham til fordel for Justin Bieber. Så Zedd er ikke bare musiker, han er også blevet celebrity-stjerne i Hollywood.

"His 2015 album True Colors is further proof that he's the most level-headed DJ ever to headline a festival. This crafted and cool LP repeats most of what was good with his debut, plus it is confident enough to have exes over, as Gomez appears on the highlight and single "I Want You to Know" belting out romantic words co-written by Ryan Tedder ("I want you to know, that I'm all yours/You and me run the same course") ... The slick and skillful True Colors is built for fans of Zedd's music rather than his social media followers".

"Not unlike his hits (including his Ariana Grande collaboration "Break Free"), Zedd routinely uses soaring synth stabs with crystal clear vocals from female singers. While it's worked in the past, it feels like the primary colors Zedd tends to paint with feel faded ... Zedd's True Colors (...) feels underformed and unoriginal".
