I guess if someone HAD to remix this track, Kygo ,pronounced KY-GU ( Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll ) wasn\’t a terrible choice since most of his productions are more on the laid back side of contemporary dance music or \” Chill\” as fans will tell you. He\’s approached similar projects like this before such as Marvin Gaye\’s \”Sexual Healing\” and Whitney Houston\’s version of the Steve Winwood Classic \” Higher Love\” all with similar sounding results. The \” Kygo\” formula I would assume. Some Acapellas here and there , a slight effect on the vocals and a drop into 118 BPM dance. We\’ve been here before, but that\’s Ok , I am not the target consumer. Although as a Dj, especially an older DJ ,this track would be categorized as an early evening starter.
Thankfully as the founder of the South Florida DJ Association with over 3000 members I have access to opinions and reactions from DJs of all ages, even though I actively seek out faithful remixes of Classic tracks to include in my sets. The general consensus was not surprising in this age of Hip Hop and a leaning towards a \”harder \” dance sound. The track was deemed as \” weak\” and unlikely to be played at any of their clubs or events. Some even referred to it as \” modern cocktail hour music \” Favorable comments were relegated to \” good for the beach\” \” good for the driving\” but remember that\’s here in South Florida , maybe on an ocean front bar at 5 am on a beach in Greece, after a night of dancing this would be perfect.
The structure of the track remains pretty faithful to Tina\’s original , what\’s missing in my opinion is the \” soul\” of the song , the sexy sultry vibe she gave off in the original. You compare.
