Janelle Monae – Tightrope (Various Mixes)
Can’t get enough of Janelle Monae’s ability to bring old school soul music back with a pop-ish feel to it. She is definitely going places with this genre of music and we will surely see many of followers. I am posting a couple versions of this song, including the original. Obviously the original is my favorite which is what made her famous. Between the Organized Noize and Hook remixes I can’t decide which one I like more. They both respectfully change the song to match the genre they were going for. Organized Noize brings the original vocals and turns it into a hip-hop track similar to the style of Outkast. While the Hook N Sling & Goodwill Remix is definitely a hybrid of the original and a house track, while using the some of the vocals as ambience. Both are very well put together remixes.
