Nneka - Heartbeat

This sounded weirdly familiar, only because I knew it from the Chase and Status remix, which was everywhere a few years ago.

The remix is definitely catchier and cleaner-sounding, but I prefer the original hands down. The live drums are incredible: apparently* people program drum machines to try to make them sound more imperfect and human. They should just hire this guy.

Nneka's vocals are growing on me - it's not the sound that I usually go for, but she murks this track. And she's very cool: I have yet to see her get naked in a video, and she wrote this little stormer. Take that Rihanna.

*according to my friend Jon, who knows about things like this.
