Let’s talk body for a moment. The body of a song or the body of a person; the choice is up to you, but really, aren’t they one and the same?
Cahto’s remix of the Tove Lo track has me thinking these two things are the same. The body of the song, the chorus, is something we can all relate to. With a remix it would be the parts you recognize from the original, even if it is slightly different. This would include the relatively different limbs or I suppose you could say they are the interludes. This is where we see the creativity of the artist doing the remix. Cahto keeps this portion of the song up-tempo, keeping us moving with every second in the song. I enjoy a remix that takes the original to new places that some wouldn’t dare venture.
The other most important part we can talk about, the control center, the mastermind, or simply, the head of a person. In terms of the song, I’d call it the personality given by the artist. Here Cahto has taken a slower song with beautiful vocals by Tove Lo and turned it into a more danceable track. There are no breaks in the melody as there are in the original song. Even when the track is purely vocals, you can here a background melody that we can move our bodies to while the drop builds.
Excellent remix Cahto, keep up the great work! Check out the remix below and don’t forget to follow on Twitter and Soundcloud.
