Jonas
Blue the young, up
and coming London producer gets his musical cues from pop and classic dance
music. But his latest single, Fast Car, came from re-imagining one of his
mother’s favorite songs. Jonas says he remembered hearing Tracy Chapman’s
classic Fast Car on repeat as a child. Jonas traded the original guitar from
the track for an upbeat tropical house sound. He admits that finding the right
vocalist was the difficult part.
One night he heard a unique bluesy voice
lilting from the basement of an East London pub. The young sultry voice was
that of Dakota. The very next day Jonas and Dakota were in the studio to
record Fast Car. His rendition has found its way to the top of the Australian
charts and this week it hits the decks on In The Mix with HK™. Let
me know what you think of the track by giving it a Volume Up or Volume Down on
my Twitter @HowardHKKessler.
