Last month, legendary trio Nero kicked off a string of edit releases with a massive rework of Daft Punk’s “Emotion.” The electronic outfit didn’t slow down after that, releasing edits at random intervals throughout the month thereafter, including a take on Tame Impala’s “Disciples” and classic 80s track “Relax” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Now, the next Nero bootleg is here, and it’s glorious. Travelling back even further in time for an edit of the Phil Collins-era Genesis, Nero’s version of “Mama” refreshes a nearly 40- year old song with a clean 2021 sheen. In classic Nero fashion, a dark and synth-driven production provides a nearly cyberpunk atmosphere that fits the trio’s aesthetic perfectly.&nbs...
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-16T04:00:48+00:00“>April 16, 2021 | 12:00am ET Paul McCartney has just released McCartney III Imagined, his new album of covers and remixes by St. Vincent, Damon Albarn, Josh Homme, and many other marquee artists. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. If the title didn’t make it obvious, this new LP was composed entirely by other musicians as they reimagine McCartney III, the solo album he dropped last December. Because that record was written, performed, recorded, and produced entirely by McCartney himself, it’s extra fitting for the former Beatle to put that same material in the hands of others to see how it sounds from different perspectives. As we heard in early singles...
Last month, composer Danny Elfman shared his latest solo song, “Kick Me”. Now, the 67-year-old musician has teamed up with Death Grips drummer and producer Zach Hill for a new remix. Hill’s version transforms the alternative rock sound of the original with a swirling cacophony of percussion and synths. It’s a complete reimagining of the track which will satisfy fans of Death Grips’ and Elfman’s previous singles alike. “I was a big fan of Death Grips and Zach Hill’s work, and so appreciative to have him jump in with his creative energy,” Elfman said in a press release. “Kick Me” arrived in March on the heels of January’s “Sorry” and February’s “Love in the Time of COVID”, following through on Elfman’s promise to release a new song every month this year. Outside of his solo music, Elfma...
Thom Yorke notoriously hates “Creep”, but he apparently loves fashion enough to overlook his distaste for the classic track. The Radiohead frontman provided a haunting new acoustic remix of the Pablo Honey single for a recent Japanese fashion show. The nearly nine-minute version of “Creep” was mixed as the featured song for Jun Takahashi’s fall 2021 collection “Creep Very”, which was part of Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo. Touching on why the song was the perfect fit for his new line, Takahashi told Vogue, “The theme is of a person who is frail and weak but has a truly pure heart.” Here, “Creep” is a drawn-out, ghost of a tune, acoustic guitar strumming steadily over droning synths and Yorke’s digitally crackling vocals. You can take a listen by watching the “Creep Very” show via Takahashi’s U...

HAIM and Taylor Swift have been friends for quite a while now, and they committed their friendship to wax last year when the sisters hopped on her evermore track “No Body, No Crime”. Now, they’re teaming up once again, this time with Swift putting her own spin on their Women in Music Pt. III cut “Gasoline”. As eagle-eyed fans pointed out, HAIM started teasing “Gasoline (Featuring Taylor Swift)” earlier in the week with some cryptic tweets and a TikTok video of them cranking the remix together in their car. As could be heard in that audio snippet, this new version of “Gasoline” sees Swift singing gracefully over the original version, all sweet harmonies and luscious tones. Swift had long been hot on “Gasoline” according to a statement from the sisters. “since we released wimpiii in june, ta...
This is the way the pop music world learned what a Baked Alaska is. Ariana Grande has shared a music video for her “34+35 (Remix)” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat, and you can watch it below. The clip finds the trio of big name talents having a luxury girls lingerie night in a crazy luxe hotel. Yes, the song is all about getting raunchy with a lover, but it’s cool to just feel sexy with your fellow Hot Girls too! Especially when you can buzz down to the front desk through an intercom and order up some grub without even putting on a towel. In between lounging by the pool and taking some home video, this is exactly what Grande does. She calls up for some champagne and french fries, and then at the end of the clip is disappointed to learn the kitchen is out of Baked Alask...
The Knife had a big 2020, marking their 20th anniversary with a series of reissues, a long-awaited migration to Bandcamp, live performances, and a new anti-nationalist anthem. With the celebration behind them, though, the group’s Olof Dreijer is back to his own work. Today, he’s shared a remix of “Monument” by Robyn & Röyksopp. “Monument” comes from the Swedish collaborators’ 2014 Do It Again EP, but it’s given a completely new spin here. The original pulsed with heavy sultriness as Robyn delivered slow and deliberate lyrics of determination. Dreijer kicks up the tempo considerably, speeding the vocals and panning the audio back and forth. The instrumentation also has been given something of a more classic dancefloor vibe, to the point where you can almost see the flashing lights cutti...
