I usually hate compilations, but this one is different. Verve//Remixed 4 features a wide array of production contributors to re-imagine a number of R&B, soul, latin and jazz standards (and rare gems).
I’ve been blasting this CD at the office a few times a day. Favorites are Kenny Dope’s take on James Brown’s “There Was a Time”, Diplo’s take on Marlena Shaw’s “California Soul†(mp3 below) and Psapp Remix of “Bim Bom†by Astrud Gilberto.
