99 Souls' Girl Is Mine remixed by Crookers: Premiere
The duo's R&B-dance crossover hit gets a funky remix from a legendary DJ.
It's official: musical mashups are back in fashion.
Well, they are when they're done as brilliantly and thoughtfully as 99 Souls' The Girl Is Mine; a blend of Destiny's Child's Girl and Brandy & Monica's The Boy Is Mine. It's been scaling the Official Singles Chart for some weeks now and cracked the Top 40 last Friday (December 4), and has even had the seal of approval from Beyonce herself.
The mysterious duo, who hail from the UK, describe themselves as a "jazz kid" and "hip hop baby". "We’re making an epic soul, meets gospel, meets 2016 house album where every song means something," they said of their sound. "We just want to make a classic, timeless album!"
With track's dancefloor takeover still growing, the pair have unveiled a remix courtesy of legendary electro house DJ Crookers, premiered below. And while the re-swizz injects an extra layer of strobing funk-bass, it does so without losing the classic R&B essence of the original. Listen below:
99 Souls The Girl Is Mine is out now via Resilience Records/Nothing Else Matters/RCA Records, impacting this Friday (December 11).
