MAKO, “Smoke Filled Room” (Elephante remix)
I hate to see great songs escape out from underneath us and fall off the radar. Sometimes remixes can bring new interest and flavour to a record, and reknown remixer/producer Elephante (Jack Ü/Justin Bieber, The Magician/Years & Years, among many) has done exactly that with L.A. duo Mako’s engaging “Smoke Filled Room”. It starts deceptively with slow piano chords, which play into winning lyrics and melody that complement the vocals, which remind me sometimes of The Fray’s Isaac Slade. It has radio hit written all over it with a gritty, emotional side that will turn heads. Elephante amplifies the emotion and intensifies the song by making the chorus much more frenetic than in the original mix. It will have you bouncing in bliss long after dark. Mako’s “Smoke Filled Room” is a gem waiting to be found, so pick it up on iTunes. You can download Elephante’s remix for free below by clicking the link to follow him and Mako on Instagram.
