  • A powerhouse remix uniting two pillars of Canadian synth pop.

  • Marie Davidson and Jessy Lanza are two of the foremost auteurs of modern Canadian synth pop, and this new remix demonstrates their vastly different—yet equally intriguing—approaches to the genre. On the original, Davidson and her band L'Œil Nu (Pierre Guerineau and Asaël R. Robitaille) went for disco rock excess. Lanza pares things down, using only the French-language vocal breakdown, a dramatic, classically influenced section that resembles ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On Me" in its derring-do. The Hyperdub star flips Davidson's acrobatic vocal into a helium voice earworm that serves as the cherry on top of a bass-heavy jack track.
