If you haven’t heard the original Shades of Grey by Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank, we’ll let you know that it is also an electronic/house song fashioned into a sing-along type fare. What’s different about the Yaro J remix of the song is that there are (exectionally) louder general sounds, louder synths and distinct classic dubstep-ish/dance drums are applied along with some other drums sprinkled in for good measure. Instead of allowing Shades of Grey to remain a cute lil’ pop sing-along with an slightly electric feel, Yaro J takes it all the way there. There will likely be more distinct, forceful movements than the “sing-a-long bunny hop” (you know that dance) when Yaro J’s remix comes appears at a nightclub, rave or festival, which is a good thing, because, that was his point. According to Yaro J:
I almost never work on remixes as I prefer to write and produce my own material. So when it comes to remixing a song I treat it a like its my own material and produce it accordingly.
So in the end, while this remix of Shades of Grey is not as dramatic of a change such as transforming a lounge song into an in-your-face dance song, the changes are quite noticeable and would serve as a great alternative in settings that require a song to have a little more oomph. Check it out now:
