Adler says he sought to make SHWAYZE's sound "bigger" on LET IT BEAT than they were on last year's Top 10 debut "Shwayze," especially the drums and rhythm tracks. The group also broadened its stylistic reach on the album; the first single, "Get U Home," has a more thumping, club kind of feel, while "Crazy For You," a collaboration with the Cars' Ric Ocasek and with Bad Brains' Darryl Jenifer on bass, has more of a New Wave-style rock flavor and "Heart and Soul," with the E Street Band's Roy Bittan on piano, is a full-on ballad. Other features on "Let It Beat" include Snoop Dogg on "Livin' It Up" and the Knux on "Dirty Little Girl."
