Mash ups/ Bastard pop is a musical genre which, in its purest form, consists of the combination (usually by digital means) of the music from one song with the acapella from another. Typically, the music and vocals belong to completely different genres. At their best, bastard pop songs strive for musical epiphanies that add up to considerably more than the sum of their parts.

The latest tunes returns to my Motown groove with the instrumental of 'I'll Try Something New' by The Temptations & The Supremes laid under Lilly Allen's vocals from 'Smile'.

I finally got around to putting together all my Amy Winehouse mash ups in one place. The 'Black to Back EP' project started at the beginning of the year with Back to the Ritz and ended last night with Where Did Our Love Go, Rehab? The tunes featured range from smoky, jazzy melodies mashed with Ella Fitzgerald thru' to dancey tunes mashed with Liberty X and Shakira via some very soulful, Motown vibes mashed with The Supremes, Smokey Robinson and The Temptations.
Yeah - still working through the 'Back to Black' instrumentals! Everyone knows how the album was recorded using original 60's mic's and recording equipment etc. So, of course, the sound lends itself to that era very well.
This little tune uses the instrumental from Amy's 'Love is a Losing Game' and the vocals from The Supremes and the Temptations 'So I'll Try Something New'. It came about after the guy over at The Daily Kraken, who'd featured a couple of my Amy tunes, asked if I had one using this instrumental - so I put one together!
This tune uses Estelle's instrumental of 'American Boy' and The Temptations vocals from ' Papa was a Rolling Stone'.
I've had Dennis Edwards, Melvin Franklin, Richard Street and Damon Harris' alternate vocal lines to contend with! I've found some common ground with the keys and pitch................ anyways, have a listen and let me know what you reckon!
