Brand new remix coming up in a sec! The guilty part this time; Fear of Tigers. This guy is simply amazing and I need to do a post (and possibly an interview) about him in the future. So, who is Rosanna? I had to do some research. After reading the incredibly short Wikipedia entry on Rosanna I instantly knew who she was. She was part of the Swedish girl band Play who toured the States with some pretty big acts between 2001-2005. The band split up and last year a Swedish TV channel made a reunion-reality-show trying to get the group together again. Rosanna passed on the “opportunity” focusing on her solo career.
To get things rolling she’ll be releasing her first single “Waterfall” on Popjustice’s brand new label Popjustice Hi-Fi on August 22 of this year. Some additional info from the Popjustice Hi-Fi site: “Rosanna is twenty two years old and is brilliant at making charismatic, hot-blooded pop music. She says that the genre in which she operates is best described as “big emotional, chaotic, beautiful pop”. Time for some music then; This is the single version on the track. It stands incredibly firm on it’s own, no mystery since it’s produced by Jim Eliot. His previous work include (among others) Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kylie, Royksopp and Ladyhawke.
UPDATE:
I updated the post with the brand new official video. The video is well made, no doubts there — it’s just that it feels so incredibly wrong. I don’t like it at all. This track is torn, dirty and dark, why did they go for a “feminine hygiene product” look? Seriously.
UPDATE No. 2:
OK. I felt I had to do this and luckily it didn’t take very long. I just told you that I didn’t like the official video and that I didn’t think the style of the video fit the track. I don’t like to complain just for the sake of complaining, so — here’s my take. It’s from some random video on Vimeo and I just took the visuals (without a single edit) and added the Waterfall track to it. I’m not saying the video should have been done exactly like this, but more like this. You know? And BTW, the video I “stole” was done by students at a film school so good results and fresh visuals can come cheap, if you’re lucky (and shop around a bit).
And now, finally, back to the post:
Just for fun I’ll post another version with just a tiny tape recorder and a guy on the piano. From the YouTube description: “Teknologgatan is a collective of musicians and bands from Stockholm with Rosanna Munter, Rocket Boy, Icona Pop amongst others.” I guess the piano guy is Rocket Boy, haha! Here goes:
And now, finally — the AMAZING remix by Fear of Tigers. As I mentioned earlier I’m going to do a full post on him in the not to distant future so I’ll just drop the remix down below and be done with this post — that’s how bad I want you guys to hear it. Listen, NOW! Rosanna – Waterfall (Fear Of Tigers Remix).
The “video” is not all that, but it’s the one with the highest audio quality.
