 In light of my not liking to post about certain pop songs getting 'remixes' preemptively, BEFORE there are any remixes, I'm making an exception here and hope you'll all...well...forgive me. haha. I'm Seriously hoping Leona Lewis' new UK single (due in October) gets some dancefloor love. "Forgive Me" was a newly recorded track for the U.S. version of her 'Spirit' album, produced & written by Akon. The video has been shot and leaked onto the internet (subsequently removed from Youtube). Anyone know of any prospects? This jam has a pretty good beat on it's own. There's a single mix out that cuts down on the intro. |

Hmm. Hopefully Moto Blanco turns it out. Thanks for justifying my creation of this thread so quickly! haha.

It's a fun video...though very random. It definitely had it's share of WTF momentsl... 1. Dancing Teenagers/Young Adults/City Folks 2. Leona in a top hat surrounded by dancing mimes 3. Leona under a marquee surrounded by men with umbrellas 4. Leona singing on a carousel WTF!? Though I guess not all videos need to tell a story  |

Isn't it the four musicals: West Side Story, Cabaret, Singing In The Rain and Carousel?

There is an Almighty cover remix already, again sung by Jamie Knight. Her vocals suck.  But the promo CD had the instrumental so I did a little mash-up work.  I mashed Sam998899's filtered acappella with the Almighty instrumental to make this. It's not perfect, and due to the limitations of the filtered acappella, I had to change up the mix a little bit, cutting out the breakdown halfway through the mix and skipping straight to the bridge; there was also a minor drop in the final chorus of the full length cover remix, which I had to change because it made the filtered acappella MUCH more obvious. I don't quite think it's club-playable since you can very faintly hear the beats from the original in some parts.

Moto Blanco are apparently remixing it. Does anyone know more about this? Is it getting a release? I love this song and Moto Blanco are some of my favourite remixers around, I'm sure they'd work this down to perfection like they did with "Bleeding Love". As far as I can tell from the 7digital.com release, there's only a "Single Mix", which is the original radio version and according to Leona's Myspace blog, there's a b-side song called "Myself" feat. Novel (never heard of him before) which is a slow song. Could anyone shed some light on the Moto Blanco mix if there really is one? Or any other mixes if they exist? |

Danny told me they defo did Remix it, and quite a while ago too. Whether it'll see a release is anyone's guess...

Mmm... the Moto Blanco mix is just all right for me. It has the trademark piano and maintains the house feel, but it's a bit cheesy and feels kind of dated. Moto Blanco's BL mix is so much better.

Ooo... after reading these boards for a while, I want to say hello... finally got approved. Love dance music here and follow it a lot. Found these boards looking for a good discussion.
Has anyone heard anything more about any official remixes of this song? Azriel's mashup of the two (her and Almightly) is getting me by (no offense, but I do need that missing bridge buildup), but I think it's going to make such a great official mix. I've heard the Miki/Bobby mix on YouTube and it's okay, but I think I need a little Moran or someone on this one. At least the MB mix is ever so slightly different from their norm.
I'm getting ancy!
