The Naked & Famous are one of our favourite New Zealand bands. They recently won the prestigious Silver Scroll award for their chart-topping single 'Young Blood' and just completed a tour with another kiwi favourite of ours, Kids Of 88.
Continuing in their stride of musical domination they have had 'Young Blood' remixed and given some hip-hop treatment by international superstars Chiddy Bang. The hip-hop / rap / electro duo played in Auckland last week with 'bup bup Americano' Yolanda Be Cool and a bit of old-fashioned networking must have gone down to arrange the remix.
The remix is electro-fied by Xaphoon Jones and embellished with some tasty rhymes courtesy of Chiddy. It retains the original, hypnotizing chorus but aside from that it's an entirely fresh invention that's sure to propel The Naked & Famous onto the radar of a whole new demographic of music lovers.
