As soon as I heard Dua Lipa's latest single "Don't Start Now," I was all in. It's funky fresh power pop that showcases her voice wonderfully, and just like "Electricity" last year I knew it would spawn several quality remixes. Just over a week after the original's release, Belgian bootlegger MT SOUL has offered up a smooth house remix that leans into an added keyboard foundation, giving it a gentle jazz twist.
Succeeding largely in its closeness to the original, MT SOUL has ditched much of the gritty bass riffs for a more shimmery, glistening glow that, while mixed for a fuller feel, still allows for Dua's delivery to flourish. This new bed matches Dua stride for stride playing perfectly with the vocals, especially so in the bouncy bridge and rolling choruses. Again mirroring the original, MT SOUL's production is crisp and clean, just like the quick and easy breakup Dua sings about. This is no reinvention of the the wheel, but rather a quality recasting worthy of rocking the dance-floor. Download it free via Hypeddit here. FOLLOW DUA LIPA: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
