On Verve Remixed 4, music's most respected and emulated remix series once again breaks new ground. Now in stores, and more soulful in both repertoire and musical direction, the new album enlists a cutting-edge arsenal of production contributors to re-imagine a luminous array of R&B, soul, latin and jazz standards and rare gems.
This compelling rollout features funk, Afrobeat and transcultural tastemakers as well - the beat world's most influential accompanists pairing off with some of the most memorable and against-the-grain vocal performances ever. The most cohesive offering of the Verve Remix canon, Remixed 4 illuminates the depth and durability of the Verve legacy for generations to come.
Download The Diplo Remix of California Soul (Marlena Shaw) MP3
Marlena Shaw was the first female vocalist signed to Blue Note Records, her knack for blending jazz, soul and pop nuggets led to her mastery of covers, including this rippling version of the Ashford & Simpson-penned "California Soul."
Shaw's version of the track was rediscovered by DJs on the recent Cadet/Verve reissue and who better than nomadic DJ Diplo to sonically fray the edges even more? Diplo's joyous breakdowns and zig-zag horn and keyboard sections make for feisty groovework while Marlena bridges styles on the 1968 album that introduced the original gem, The Spice Of Life.
