Mariah Carey has recently released a remix of her new single ‘Bye Bye’ featuring the iconic rapper Jay-Z. When I first heard the song when she performed it on American Idol, I thought of how incredibly cheesy and overall sucky the song was. But after hearing the remix with Hova on it – man! I can’t believe I actually like it now. Just the remix though, not the original. Maybe it’s because that Jay-Z’s rap cuts out the really cheesy verses of the song and Mariah was mostly just back up on the first half of the song. The less I hear of her, the more I like the song.

Rihanna’s hit single ‘Umbrella’ has been the biggest single of the year which merited a lot of covers from different artists representing different genres. It’s actually the most covered single of 2007. It’s so big that even Rihanna has done her own cover of her own song!

Rihanna actually went back in to the studio and recorded an amazing acoustic version of the song. Her acoustic version features a new arrangement and even a few added lyrics. It’s incredible! Maybe this would be the end of the ‘Umbrella’ covers. It’s already gone back to where it all started – Rihanna herself.

Scream America!, the limited edition EP from Tokio Hotel, is in stores everywhere today! The latest from the international superstars features “Scream” and “Ready Set Go!” remixed by Jade Puget of AFI and Blaqk Audio. The EP can be purchased at HereMore info Here

Here’s a remix of the latest single of rapper Fabolous titled “Make Me Better”.

Legendary singer Bob Dylan has consented to the first hip-hop remix of one of his classic songs, Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine). Dylan has sanctioned Mark Ronson, the dance world’s hottest producer, to rework on the bittersweet break-up song from his 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. After years of declining all offers to remix his records, Dylan, has decided that hip-hop renovation is the finest way to initiate his work to a new teenage audience. Certainly well thought of Dylan, in today’s world it is the survival of the fittest and renovation or innovation is a must to keep oneself as world class. He certainly is a name that his generation would love listening to and his music was ground-breaking. Keep reinventing and keep reincarnating and he will be amazed to see his popularity rise among a new age audience.
