Sam Smith fails at honoring Donna Summer
This is an attempt at a rather faithful remake of the Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroder/Pete Bellotte 1977 classic “I Feel Love” by Sam Smith and produced by Disclosure’s Guy Lawrence. The original changed music; this version tries to keep it the same. A huge problem with that is Sam Smith is... not Donna Summer, nor do they seem to even understand what Donna Summer was doing with her voice and expression. Hearing them try to mimic her is so terribly misguided that it plays like comedy.
Off of 4AD Records and now signed to Merge, it has been a while since Torres sounded so free. “Good Scare” is our first taste of her forthcoming fourth full-length LP—a haunting track in which she dives deep into her electronic impulses to craft a gorgeous-yet-brief rumination on falling in love. It’s frightening, yet well worth the leap.A beautiful song gets a wonderfully simple visual—it’s rare that the art mediums match so seamlessly.
