Nero/Skrillex - Promises (cover by Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi)

[hourspast]

i hated this when i first listened, when it came out.

but i've just come back to it now... and for some reason, i get it now. i think once you get over the shock of how they've removed all the conventional harmony, you appreciate how dirty and badass it is.

also, louis looks so badass in that coat for some reason.

JUST TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY!

[danakerman]

I have to agree that the original (not the Skrillex remix) is altogether a more cohesive, better version. However, this cover is still amazing and has some elements that are just astounding. The bass drop around 1:45 is enormous. Jen's voice is beautiful as ever, although I miss the intensity of Alana Watson's more soul-based vocal style. I like this version a LOT, though, and it's great to see a creative approach.

[adizee526]

Not hating but that easily destroyed the song. That was horrible. They're both talented but they fucked up the song

[BullytraxMusic]

@adizee526 No offense, and different strokes and all that, but I think you missed the point of this cover version completely. Check out the rest of Louis and Genevieve's covers, and you might see... Everything in this one that differs from the original is what makes it great. And the melody & lyrics of course, which are really cool in the original as well - otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to make this. Obviously, I find the original production really boring and off the shelf commercial.

@adizee526 A "cover" doesn't have to copy the way the song sounds.

[UrMomIsClockLike]

@adizee526 Silly, silly young child infant baby. You'll never know.

[AnnaManna69]

genevieve, you look so sexy

[Awkwardzable]

Didn't disappoint.

[someguy272]

This is awesome, much more interesting going on here than most recent 'Drum'n'Bass' stuff. Took a rather boring track (In my opinion) and made it something more, can't believe I nearly forgot about you guys

[fabricioreyes]

se zarpan....

[MrOmnisun]

too drum and base for me with old fashion dub. But it has it''s good parts. Just not my flavour. Very creative though and I've think they have done a nice job but i'm not going to listen to it again. Good bye

[Free2bMe94]

nice this sounds like a bass and drum jungle mix

[ChickenRiceNdPeas]

the original is waayyy better :/

[GebruennenTube]

A little Genius, eh? Please give us more of this Shit... ;-)

[amoergosum3]

Can you guys do a more dynamic mix/master?....this version sounds like it has been brickwalled.

[NeutralNewt]

@amoergosum3 Hm, sure has - average dynamic range = 2 decibels. Yikes!

Most people don't seem to care about that sort of thing, sadly. Happens all the time. At least everything else is really well done.

[amoergosum3]

@NeutralNewt

Well...raise awareness. Stop The Loudness War!

[NeutralNewt]

@amoergosum3 +1, I sure do whenever I can!

[EctInc]

@amoergosum3 The mixing actually reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons. Digimon had this problem, if I recall.

[NEOnuts]

fucking! amazing!

[NeutralNewt]

THOSE EYES. I'm gonna have nightmares forever.

Worth it.

[godfornothing]

just amazing stuff!

[ZigZagBirds]

WOW..so good. And awesome visuals!

[drawingshadows]

You guys remind me of Flying Lotus

[insanityisme]

So good =]

[Jojodog11]

[Tyndan]

You guys are insane. I love you.

[Karshilistics]

Too non-harmonious for my taste .. but I like anything you guys put out.
