In another announcement, he revealed the album is a confluence of his experiences over the years. He noted,

Every song ranked from best to worst on DJ Snake's Nomad

We are taking a look at DJ Snake's new mosaic of music that is a representation of his mixed cultural experiences. We are ranking the tracks from best to worst:

1. In The Dark Ft. Stray Kids

One of the most awaited collaborative tracks of the album is In The Dark, featuring K-pop group Stray Kids. The track highlights the vocals of all the members of the group while being backed up by DJ Snake's unique music and composition.


2. Paradise Ft. Bipolar Sunshine

Paradise features Bipolar Sunshine's softer vocals and is a rendition of Phil Collins' Another Day in Paradise. The track infuses newer elements and changes the tempo, but respects the originality.


3. Company & Patience

Fast-paced and smooth, Company features Bantu, infusing African and Indian beats. Another soothing yet catchy track on the album is Patience featuring Amadou and Mariam. The track has the potential to evoke multiple feelings, and DJ Snake has been able to create a perfect base for the African singers.


4. Noventa

Released approximately four months ago with long-time collaborator J Balvin, Noventa combines DJ Snake's original music style with newer elements. The track has a fun and instrument-infused ending.


5. Something Wrong

Don Toliver collaborates with DJ Snake on Something Wrong, creating a rap synth. While the music video had mixed reviews, with some users noting that the visuals are distracting, the track appears to make up for it.


6. Tsunami (Ft. Future & Travis Scott)

Tsunami features rap vocals by Future and Travis Scott. While the track is catchy and spirited, it appears to be less of a DJ Snake track and more of a Travis Scott single, which may draw mixed reactions.


7. Bam Bam ft. Damian Marley, Cairo Express

Bam Bam is more similar to DJ Snake's original work and slightly reminiscent of Magneta Riddim. The vibe shifts to Moroccan tunes and beats with Cairo Express, infusing eastern vibes.


8. KIKI2000 & Teka

DJ takes it a notch higher with KIKI2000 & Teka, inviting listeners to the dance floor. Released approximately a year ago, featuring Peso Pluma, Teka is a fun single and a no-brainer. It is an upbeat track with no boring breaks.


9. Bring The House Down & Reloaded

Dillon Francis and TRXGGX collaborate with DJ Snake on Bring The House Down for raw beats and create a rave-like experience. With relentless beat drops, the track reminds one of the artist's early work. Reloaded has a similar synth, but has more power-packed vocals and beats.


10. Monte Carlo & Final Fantasy

The longest tracks of the album feature DJ Snake's OG music style, making them ideal for a dance club. While Monte Carlo is fast-paced, Final Fantasy takes its time to slowly create a concert-like ambience. The album ends with the latter and is in collaboration with The Outlaw.


11. Nomad & You Are My High

Nomad is the opening visualizer of the album. While it's a short introduction, without many vocals, it sets the momentum and is infused with African-style music. You Are My High is a previously released single that is slower and has a unique composition.
