U2 - With Or Without You [instrumental]
Whitney Houston - How Will I Know [acapella] Florence + the Machine - You've Got The Love [acapella and instrumental stems] I love this mashup; and it has a story behind it. Back in January 2016 RichC100 posted a mashup for a Mashstix contest (that I ended up winning.) In his mashup he used a remake of Whitney Houston's How Will I Know called Take Me To The Clouds Above by LMC. LMC's song combines elements of With Or Without You with Whitney to make a dance sensation that apparently took Britain by storm in 2004. I loved the combination of those two songs, but I thought it might sound even better as a ballad. LMC's version was a bit too repetitive for my tastes as well, so I was thinking about what song might work well with it, and that's when You've Got The Love came to mind. Not only did Florence sound great in this combination, but I was able to use some of the remix stems (especially some nice strings) from her song to add a special touch to this mix. I love to listen to this one late at night on repeat play. It's one of those songs that sound better the 5th time through than the first. |
