The Weeknd/Illangelo Remix Lady Gaga's 'Marry The Night'
The anticipated remix of Lady Gaga's 'Marry The Night' by mysterious R&B phenomenon The Weeknd has been put out. No surprises here, we are treated with the signature style we've come to know and love with The Weeknd. This rework is a triumph in every way, transforming the pop star's original number into an atmospheric treat. The remix rides percussion repetitively with Lady Gaga's vocals laid over until the 2:20 mark. With respects to the first half of the song, the song imploding on itself sucks you into a whole other world. Drizzled with a simple progression and trademark moans from Abel Tesfaye, Lady Gaga's anthemic chants of "Marry The Night" adds another skin-crawling moment in The Weeknd's young career.
The Weeknd can be heard on Drake's upcoming album Take Care and his anticipated final mix tape, which is to be released later this year. If this track leaves you wanting more, be sure to check out his recent remix of Florence and the Machine's 'Shake It Out'.
