Man In The Mirror

Rythme Fatal feat. Redd-Angel

Motivo (Italy)

WE SAY

This is probably the most exciting track we heard at Popkomm (thanks to Michel Petre for the tip off). How can a cover of such a well known song be so exciting? Partly thanks to that Black Legend-lite beat and bass line amongst other lovely production touches. And partly thanks to a one and three quarter minute long tease where those who don't remember the song quite so well will be racking their brains to work out what it is, before the glorious chorus breaks out. One of those covers that makes you realise how great the song is. A smash - and still available for the UK and various other key territories.
