Here's an unusual original collab I didn't see coming. I first heard this tune on another drum channel in its liquid drum 'n bass format and thought it was kind of cool. I recently invited a guitarist from the states, Mikk Smith, to participate in a new collab. When we were discussing what to pick for a tune we decided to try this: Strangers by Kenya Grace from the UK. Released on September 1st, 2023 it's relatively fresh and peaked at number one in a few countries including the UK and is an overall breakout hit in many other countries. It's all over CZcams as well, including many covers - BUT NOT LIKE THIS! The original is 170bpm. Ours is 160bpm which is the tempo of her "Sad" version. Mikk and I provided all the backing instruments and we added her acapella vocal track from CZcams, slowed down to 160bpm. That track was stripped of all it's reverb and over-saturation using an AI program, then a touch of reverb added back in, so the vocals are very clear and not full of "mud". We mixed in footage from some of her video shorts of the same song. Mikk then rips a fantastic guitar solo at the end that replaces the last chorus in the original. I told you it was different! Enjoy Folks!

Wow, you two hit this one WAY out of the park! Not only great playing and producing, but giving her song a total make-over! So creative! Kudos!
