2 Comments Colin Munroe is the new hot shit “Flashing Lights remix”

Flashing Lights video

World of Pain video

I just read about this dude on discobelle.net today. I’m pretty blown away by his remix of what is already an amazing song. What’s more is that the video is pure fire. And the dude is unsigned. Superproducer/spot-blower-upper Dallas Austin entered into a production deal with Colin’s Canadian manager/label with hopes of getting this phenom a mufuckin deal. Dallas’ Rowdy Records has a first look deal with Universal. Time will tell where this dude ends up.

I like how he appreciates the urban sensibility but is aware of what his true strengths lay. On the “Flashing Lights remix”, he almost sounds like Stephen Jenkins from Third Eye Blind mixed with a hint of Richard Ashcroft from The Verve. When the chorus drops and he goes into a flasetto, you can really hear his unique voice. The additional production is great too. It takes Kanye’s electroey/synthy dancefloor crawler and turns it into an organic rock/hip hop banger.

The second video, “World of Pain”, uses 10,000 still photographs to create an interesting but gimmicky look. I don’t really think the device works for the song. If he had somehow combined the stills idea with his “Flashing Lights remix” video concept, we might have a VMA-worthy clip.

I’m stamping this dude now.
