FRIDAY FLAVOURS

SIMMS&BELLE REMIX BLUE JEANS LANA DEL RAY ft AZEALIA BANKS.



How on earth can you combine the softly effervescent tones of Lana Del Ray and the sheer energy of raps hottest property?  Simms&Belle have nailed this, even if it is a bit electro by numbers.  Blue Jeans quickly becomes a side-note for Banks to lay down a fresh to the death verse.  Her effortless drawl and ability to own a beat turns this track into something far more than an electro-pop remix.  Simms&Belle are a new outfit by the way, made up of members of indie band Foster The People, but I'd really like someone else to take the lead with this, it's a combination that really works.
