Pop singer Wynter Gordon is on a roll. The 25 year-old New York City native turned heads when she first broke through in 2005 after penning the title track for Mary J Blige's smash hit "The Breakthrough." More songwriting success followed. Gordon wrote hits for artists like Danity Kane and Jennifer Lopez, plus she co-wrote and was featured on Flo Rida's platinum-selling "Sugar."
The singer fully stepped out in the spotlight as a vocalist and performer in 2010 when she released "Dirty Talk," a full-throttle dance pop track that put Gordon in pole position for continued success. To give people a taste of what's to come next, Gordon released her excellent EP "With The Music I Die" earlier this summer that is filled with delicious pop gems.
Late last month, I caught up with Wynter on one of her tour dates with Patrick Stump (you can hear Stump sing if you listen closely). Wynter and I talked a little bit more about her new music and the release of her forthcoming U.S. debut LP. She specifically talked about her collaboration with Starsmith, titled "White Lies."
This self-proclaimed Ferris Bueller of pop relishes in the chaos around her and this interview is a good example of that. We were interrupted several times by her cell phone ringing ("somebody must be dying") and a catering lady walking right through our makeshift set. Welcome to the wondrous world of Wynter.
After a slew of remixes of Neon Hitch's new single "Bad Dog" were shared online, a very special version of the song was produced by Sterling Fox that premieres exclusively here on ArjanWrites.com today.
Sterling Fox is a name you should get to know. He is half of the rising ROBOPOP duo who brought you Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts" along with his partner Dano and hit boss Benny Blanco. These guys know how to craft a potent hook and take it all the way to the top of the charts.
On this new remix, Fox shows that knows exactly how to unleash the beast that is Neon Hitch's "Bad Dog." He awakens a monster of epic sonic proportions that is a seamless mash up of Hitch's original with Nine Inch Nail's classic "Closer." Oh yes. Brace yourself.
Fox perfectly fuses Trent Reznor's profane lyrics and his grinding, bareknuckle beats with Neon Hitch's cheeky original that results in schizophrenic and potent pop thriller that is not for the squeamish.
This one is sure to get your heart racing and may even create a bit of stir. But Fox does an excellent job capturing that raw and unbridled emotion that is at the core of Reznor's groundbreaking tune. Download it after the break (Note: If you work in an office you may want to crank it up on your head phones as the lyrics are not safe for work. )
