Maya Jane Coles never ceases to amaze, and she's got me stunned all over again with her latest release, a remix of Ella Fitzgerald's "Blue Skies."
This track hits me in much the same way as Francis Harris' "
Lost Found (Black Light Smoke Remix)" does, in that the moody blues vocal becomes a perfect compliment to the melancholy, sub-marine sounds of deep house. Ella Fitzgerald may have never sounded so sexy, and I can't wait to hear this piercing the air on a chill starry night of slow swinging house.
"Blue Skies" is part of the
Verve Remixed: The First Ladies compilation and can be purchased via
iTunes.
