Move over, all other remixes of pop songs ever made. You are boring, and you will never be as good as the Chase & Status remix of that always lovely Claire Maguire's "The Last Dance." I've heard a few versions of this tune, and have settled on this rendition as my favourite. Beginning with the quick pluck of some strings, strings of vocals chopped up and thrown around, we are given a new side of pop. There is no need to follow the norm. In this case, creating something new from something already amazing and wondrous proves the apple, or the remix, does not fall far from the tree, or the original.
This version of "The Last Dance" is simply put, a beautiful song. I credit the strings, but Miss Maguire's voice is something otherworldly and stunning. This is what people should sing like these days. You notice the gradual rise present, that comes to a chorus of a climax that is enhanced by the use of an outside party. My favourite part? Perhaps the same chopped up vocals from the beginning of the song that seem to appear throughout. Take a cue from this Britney, Kesha, and the like. Do what Claire Maguire is doing, remixed or not, and you will regain my respect (except for you Kesha, a wonderful songstress when only paired with a machine). Is this the last dance? I want another!
