Now, if you’re like me and don’t know a damn thing about Coldplay and prefer Chris E. Martin over Chris Martin, please check your apprehension at the door, because this is quite the worthy effort. Boogie and Urban gather up-...   [read the full post]

Rate Coldplay's vodka lesson

Original at The West Australian external link    Tue, Sep 15

To carry on the grand tradition of putting Jay-Z’s lyrics to someone else’s beats, Viva puts Jay’s hot lines over Coldplay’s drums, guitars and vocals. Now, if you’re like me and don’t know a damn thing about Coldplay and prefer Chris E. Martin over Chris Martin, please check your apprehension at the door, because this is quite the worthy effort. Boogie and Urban gather up-and-comers (Remot, nVMe) and established vets (9th Wonder, and Cookin’ Soul) to hit the boards and merge Jay-Z and Coldplay into one cohesive sound. The result is one of the best Jay-Z remixes to hit our iPods since The Grey Album.   [read the full post]
