So
R3hab officially killed it with this remix of
Rihanna’s single “What Now.” From the powerful vocals to the atmospheric synths, R3hab was able to flip this track upside down and make it into an electro anthem. Right from the beginning, a world is created. Ambient layers complemented by a soft piano track. We are then suddenly presented with uplifting big room synths that provide the song with new emotions. Based on the buildup, you can already predict what the drop is going to be. The same big room synths with an added kick drum. But no, R3hab is smarter than that and more innovative. He throws his listeners an electro house curveball that would bump at any club. The remix has depth, variety and surprises. I call that a successful remix.
