Known for his high-energy electro and dutch house tracks, Afrojack has taken a bit of a different route with his latest remix of Kanye West, Rihanna and Paul McCartney's recent single "FourFiveSeconds."
Smartly ditching his known sound, Afrojack sticks to the chilled out vibe of the original, keeping the organs and Sir Paul McCartney's guitar from the original, while adding a soft and subtle bass line that flows underneath the track, outfitting the track for a late night club DJ set.
Stream the remix below via Afrojack's SoundCloud:
The remix appears to be official since it is still on SoundCloud and Afrojack is as big as he is. The "Spark" producer is signed to Def Jam Recordings, the same label as Rihanna and Kanye West, which probably created the opportunity for him to remix this song. There is no word on when this would be released, especially since Kanye has not set a definitive release date for his still-untitled studio album, which he told The Breakfast Club is "80 percent finished."
Kanye West and Rihanna are apparently going on tour this summer, according to a leaked concert listing in Estonia, which has the pair performing there July 25. It is unclear if this would be part of a larger European tour, but it is unlikely that the two superstars would do a lone concert in Estonia without it being part of a larger tour. Tickets go on sale March 5, so we will find out soon enough. It would be super cool to see Paul McCartney at some of the dates.
Remixes for "FourFiveSeconds" started popping up on the Internet, it seemed, the moment the track was released. Cashmere Cat collaborator and fellow Norwegian producer Lido delivered his own, funky horn-filled remix, which has been held as the gold standard of "FourFiveSeconds" remixes thus far.
