Valentine - Her (NRMN Remix)

Full of heart and feeling, "Her" from Kansas City kid, Valentine, has been received four remixes from Xavi, Halpe, Blake Skowron, and NRMN, of Hebinomichi fame. The latter, delivers delightful disco rhythms, injecting the original with deeper thumps imitating the heart palpitations that come along with such a moving remix. NRMN maintains much of the fanciful flourishes of the original, while dropping the overall tempo and filtering the vocals further, invoking a distance between the protagonist and the titular, "Her." Whereas Valentine's version is incredibly bright, bubbly and filled with an infectious energy, NRMN's version subverts those tropes with a more toned down, and tempered energy. It's as though NRMN's attempt at wooing "Her" is more deliberate and thought out, less brash and bold. However, it is still a hard hitting and potent production, and perhaps my favourite of the bunch. The whole remix EP is available for free download via ToneDen, so I'll let you decide which version of "Her" you like best.
