Release date: TBC Label:
Fresh off the back of releasing her glorious debut album, Toronto’s best-kept secret Bianca James returns with a superbly crafted remix of her former single, ‘Bang Bang Baby’.
Stepping up on remix duties to put his own unique spin on ‘Bang Bang Baby’ is fellow Canadian, Johnnyblake who has worked with the likes of Charlotte Day Wilson, Kwaku, Daniel Caesar, Jesse Gold, Marc E Bassy and more.
Keeping the original’s sultry and mysterious vibe the Toronto-based engineer and producer Johnnyblake cleverly increases the tempo adding plenty of his own flourishes to takes the song to another level, without losing the empowering message of the original, which as described by Bianca herself, is about "reclaiming my power and embracing my most confident self after being taken for granted by a lover."
With tubular bells, Tarantino-esque guitars, cinematic string flourishes, and a stellar contribution of The Hollywood Horns "Bang Bang Baby" was produced in Los Angeles, Toronto, and London, UK, by 3-time Grammy-nominee Rob Kleiner (Sia and David Guetta) and Platinum certified producer Thomas McKay (THE NIGHTCRAWLERS).
Timeless is perhaps the best way to describe Bianca’s contemporary take on a truly classic, international sound – one that draws reference from American and British 1960s styles with a melding of elements of Motown, Soul, and modern pop. Bianca’s unique musical style has gained press support from the likes of Rolling Stone Germany, Wonderland and EARMILK while also receiving radio airplay from places such as Amazing Radio, The Sound Lab and Gorgeous Radio. Additionally, her music has landed in prominent taste making playlists such as Apple Music’s Best New Songs, New Music Daily, Neu in: Pop and Breaking Pop.
‘Bang Bang Baby’ Johnnyblake Remix is out now.
