Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The third installation of Verve Remixed is far and away the best — and the first two were completely worthwhile. The source material is taken from songs by artists such as Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan, and the remixers include a wide swath of hip-hop and electronic music talent. Highlights includes Danger Mouse’s take on Dinah Washington’s “Baby Did You Hear?”; Carl Craig flipping Hugh Masekela’s “The Boy’s Doin’ It”; and Nina Simone’s “Little Girl Blue” by Postal Service. Verve Remixed 3 is enlightening for long-time Verve aficionados and fans of new-school producers.
