Retroactive

I’ve noticed a music trend for the last 5 years or so. New artists are working classic melodies and motifs of old songs and working them into something completely new. For the most part I think this a really cool idea. I love hearing something old be brought back to life. It’s amazing how the retro and the new can combine and fit together so well.

New Artist: Spin Me Right Round -Flo Rida

Original: Spin Me Round (Like a Record) -Dead or Alive

New Artist: Goodbye-Christina DeBarge

Original: Hey Hey Goodbye-Steam

New Artist (sort of): Madonna-Hung up on You

Original: Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man After Midnight-ABBA

This is the one I really did not like at all, but that’s just my opinion.

New Artist: Time of My Life-Black Eyed Peas

Original: I’ve Had the Time of My Life
