In preparation for their upcoming debut album, The Five One let loose a remix of Wiz Khalifa’s Never Been, one of the more popular tracks from Kush and Orange Juice. As innovative as ever, this a remix which adopts an almost reversed style in its execution, borrowing Wiz’s lyrics from the boastful track and laying them ‘over a mellow Bossa Nova melody‘, as opposed to simply adding verses to an existing beat.
The laidback, unobtrusive nature of the remake removes the in-your-face vibe the original emitted, and replaces it with a depth and warmth that makes this incredibly easy listening. To quote The Five One, ‘the song is nothing less than ear candy’, and it’s most definitely worth a look for almost anyone in truth, such is the diversity of the track’s appeal. RED BLUE GREEN GOLD album coming soon.
After hearing Wiz Khalifa’s “Never Been” the band knew what needed to be done……a remix like only The Five One could deliver. With Wiz Khalifa’s Hip-Hip lyrics being recited by the band’s very own GREEN and GOLD over a mellow Bossa Nova melody, the song is nothing less than ear candy. Unwrap and enjoy. Video coming soon.
