Apollo Zero: lost without careless whispers
Here is an exclusive behind the scenes blurb form Apollo himself about the making of the lost without careless whispers.
This mix has been brewing for over 6 months or more. Robin Thicke is an
amazing singer/songwriter who I have liked for a few years now.
He’s finally having success and I was excited to find the pella for his
hit "Lost Inside U." I already mixed Robin’s first single "Wanna Love You Girl" with Pet
Shop Boys and I had to really stretch and cut Robin’s vocals to make
that work. Robin’s r’n'b vocal
accapellas are difficult to mash or remix with his stylings and timings
of his lyrics. With that, I knew the track had to stay a ballad, so
what to do? Most of my boots are new school meets old school and in
keeping with that I came across the instrumental of George Michael’s
Careless Whisper. I heard a few simularites in my head of the two
tracks.. but Robin had to be phrased a bit different to work. I knew it
was going to need some serious vocal stretching, cutting and pasting to
make it sound right. Honestly, I doubted that it could be done or
even if i had the patience to make it work without it being resung. I
played a rough demo to remixer Rhythm Scholar and he told adamantly "I
had to finish that, that i was really on to something there.." So like
most boots I left it alone and returned later to it and worked it
out and my ‘monster’ came alive. I added George Michael back in for the
"guest appearance" with Robin ad-libbing under. It amazes me how well
they work and vibe together and it also makes you realize why we dont
see many bootleg ballads!
