Premiere: Millie Jackson - We Got To Hit It Off (OPOLOPO Deeper Remix) [Spring Revisited]

OPOLOPO helps launch the Spring Revisited project, which invites highly respected house music producers to remix and re-edit classic tracks from New York's Spring Records.

Spring Records operated through the 1970's, releasing many seminal soul, funk and disco tracks that have left their mark on today's music scene.

This release sees OPOLOPO rework Millie Jackson's classic disco track, "We Got to Hit It Off." The original is famed for its soulful vocal performance and captivating lyrics about female empowerment. Its sweeping strings and funky bassline also add to its upbeat vibe and feel-good energy.

OPOLOPO is a Swedish disco maestro and house music aficionado, he is a highly skilled producer who has the Midas touch when it comes to remixing music. He has done official remixes for artists such as Gregory Porter, Lisa Shaw, Barbara Tucker, and many other iconic vocalists. So, he was the perfect choice to remix Millie Jackson's "We Got to Hit It Off," and it's in a similar vein to the original music OPOLOPO has released through record labels such as Z Records, Reel People Music, and Local Talk.

Talking about his contribution to the Sprint Revisited project, OPOLOPO said: "It was an absolute honour and a tremendous treat to remix a legendary R&B icon like Millie Jackson. We Got To Hit It Off is a standout example of her powerful vocals and ability to bring both passion and playfulness to her music. In my main mix, I tried to be respectful of the original, staying with the disco vibes while injecting a bit of funk and boogie. On the deeper mix, I aimed for a later time slot on the dance floor, when things are a bit more stripped down, sweaty and raw."

OPOLOPO takes a more synthesised approach with his remix, which centres around a new bassline that lays a funky foundation for the original's vocal, strings and guitar licks. It's a sassy rework made with modern dance floors in mind, and he has also done a 'Deeper Remix' with lush pads and beefed-up percussion.

This release breathes new life into a timeless classic, while staying true to the mood and message of the original.

Oh Laura - ”The Mess We Left Behind”

On 13th of June 2012 Cosmos Music will be releasing a brand new album by Swedish act Oh Laura.
It has been five years since Oh Laura released their debut album ”A Song Inside My Head, A Demon In My Bed".

When the debut album’s first single, the evocative "Release Me", featured in an international SAAB car commercial, the breakthrough was a fact. “Release Me” topped countless charts, both at radio and retail, including Spotify, where it became their first official no.1 single. The same year it was voted "Song of the Year" at the annual songwriters award in Sweden. The single went platinum, the album went gold and a whole nation fell hopelessly in love with singstress Frida Öhrn’s beautiful and emotional voice.

It wasn’t long until the rest of the world caught up. From Poland to Australia, from Japan to the US, Oh Laura was dubbed Sweden’s “new Cardigans” and was getting ever closer to breaking it big internationally. They were just about to embark on their first international tour.
But then, due to internal differences - the band split up. Sudden and unexpected – and the break-up was final.

Lucky enough earlier recording sessions for Oh Laura’s album had been extremely fruitful. Plenty of great songs had been recorded for the next album, that never saw the light of day. Until now.

Cosmos Music is now proud to present  "The Mess We Left Behind” – twenty songs on a double album – all preiviously unreleased material. Brand new songs recorded for the planned follow-up, demos, alternate takes, new mixes, the theme song from a movie (co-written by Sir Tim Rice) – and the great UK radio version of “Release Me”.

These beautiful, luscious twenty songs unearthed for the first time, deserves to be heard as part of Oh Laura's story.

The hype surrounding the band is still there and so are the fans. Videos and tributes of their songs posted on YouTube have now passed well over five million views, with new comments continuously being posted - and this is all from a band that only managed to release one record during their active career.

The magic of “Release Me” is again finding new fans and still riding high in the charts. It recently went to no. 1 on iTunes - this time in Norway after it was covered by one of the finalists in "The Voice".

Despite a short career and a way too early break-up, Oh Laura continues to reach new audiences through the sheer power of the amazing music created while they were still together.

There is no doubt Oh Laura rightly deserves its place in Swedish pop/rock music history. And if “The Mess We Left Behind” is the final chapter in the band’s history – at least it is a beautiful mess they are leaving us with…
