Data Insight
Snake Oil is a country-dance crossover Diplo released under his Thomas Wesley alias, and its authorship is heavily collaborative. He produced the record and appears in the writing credits, but each track is co-written with its featured artists and Nashville songwriters such as King Henry, Charlie Handsome, and Ernest. The breakout "Heartless" with Morgan Wallen credits Diplo alongside Wallen, King Henry, Charlie Handsome, and Ernest.
Diplo's second solo studio album, released under the Thomas Wesley moniker, and his first solo full-length in 16 years. A country-influenced project featuring collaborations with Morgan Wallen, Jonas Brothers, Thomas Rhett, Young Thug, and Cam, Snake Oil arrived during the early COVID-19 pandemic and marked Diplo's deliberate crossover into the country pop space. The album was largely co-written and co-produced with King Henry and other Nashville collaborators, with Diplo handling all production and Thomas Pentz appearing in writing credits alongside each featured artist's writers.
