Leave it to electronic producers to make pretty boy pop stars cool again. Jack Ü essentially rebranded the Beibs's sound, and now Zayn gets the remix treatment on this version of "Pillow Talk." On this one, young US producer Wheathin collaborates with Norway's Bearson to engineer this saccharine Top 40 hit into a sexy, gritty banger.
With Wheathin's signature jagged, rhythmic basslines and Bearson's melodic approach to music, they work together to create a harmonious intermingling of opposites. The vocal track is accentuated with airy reverb, and the production on the verse is kept minimal, emphasizing the hard hitting drop.
This is a huge tune that's well suited for large audiences and fans of a wide variety of genres. Check out Bearson and Wheathin's solo ventures and catch Bearson on his first US Tour.
