Lianne La Havas | Forget (Laurel Halo Remix)

[Laurel Halo]

Lianne La Havas’s Forget has been reworked, tweaked, and skewed countless times by professional and amateur artists alike since it’s release; and when considering Lianne’s velvety vocal chords, one can easily understand why.

Self-proclaimed video game lover and American producer Laurel Halo draws her inspiration from the emergence of the information age, stating that her title ‘Halo’ is representative of “social networking and it’s glow of positivity” [Pitchfork] . Under the Kode 9 helmed label, HyperDub , Halo shapes her music into a harmonious blend of futuristic sound manipulation and wistful atmosphere.

Halo’s rework of La Havas’s Forget diverges far away from the original’s rock and roll roots, instead striving towards a technical and cohesive sound. In my opinion, Halo is very much successful in taking elements from the original and pairing them with her new ideas.
