Sam Smith Puts A Digital Coat Of Paint On Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'

Sam Smith has given a fresh coat of paint to Donna Summer's disco smash, "I Feel Love." It was produced by Guy Lawrence of Disclosure, a long-time collaborator, who brings out a futuristic sharpness that seemingly captures the feeling love during the time of dating apps on smartphones. Maybe that's also much of a read into it, nevertheless Smith's "I Feel Love" is crystalline and electric. It's going to be everywhere this holiday, even for The objective holiday campaign that it was commissioned for.


This rendition of "I Feel Love" feels like cracking open a smartphone, shrinking down to microscopic size, and then going on a journey by way of the correct and left swipes on profiles of people that you think are pretty. Lawrence breathes life into the groovy landscape with a bit of a drum kick here, a touch of ride cymbal there, and fresh waves of synths that ease you into a sense of calm. However for the most part, the air of the original permeates the track, that plus a fresh coat of digital paint. Smith reaches dreamy new highs as they traverses this realm like they are frolicking through a field where diamonds are plants. The last-minute of the track is voiceless. Lawrence turns the percussion up and lets the funk roar louder than ever before. It's the ideal end to this modern remake.


Smith released an awesomely epic video for "How Do You Sleep?" That featured them in an epic dance routine, hanging out robots, as well as a biker shredding 1/2 pipe. Earlier this year, they collaborated with Normani for "Dancing With A Stranger."
