Veronica Maggio is doing the business with her comeback album on both ends of Scandinavia – with Sweden’s lead single ‘Sergels Torg’, and Denmark’s lead single ‘Dallas’.
Now though, a couple of producers that we love have each turned out a sublime remix for either of the two.
Denmark’s Wagner (not that one…or that one) has taken on ‘Dallas’. His mix of the track has turned it into a fast paced disco SLASH house number. A big bundle of energy that’s a world away from the (still very good, mind) original. It’s always a treat when songs like ‘Dallas’ get big pop remixes made for them, because if you think about – indie songs of its ilk don’t normally get a whiff of a remix, bless them. Something about them being too far up themselves, probably. But as Wagner demonstrates here, it’s a hugely welcome new facet to the song to appreciate.
Meanwhile in Sweden, our much scribed about Orion has lent a hand to ‘Sergels Torg’. His is a more downtempo electro remix – because as we all know by now, that’s his thing. You can’t mistake his mixology. As a result, it’s a more melancholic mix than what Wagner’s done to ‘Dallas’. Whereas that one was dolled up to the nines for a trip to the disco, this one’s staying in on a Saturday night and guzzling a bottle of red on the couch.
Veronica’s new album ‘Handen I Fickan Fast Jag Bryr Mig’ is out now in Sweden. But if you live outside of Sweden you can get it on CD from our store.
