If you produce house music and you’ve got a taste for solid gold vocals to lodge in everyone’s ear, few sources are quite as reliable (and fun to dig through, for that matter), as Diana Ross and the Supremes. And that’s exactly what Skream and his good pal Jansons have done for their latest jam, “World Is Empty”.
As the title suggests it borrows some of the key vocals from the Supremes’ 1965 classic “My World Is Empty With Out You”, isolating and looping the hook for maximum despair. It also swaps the original’s juxtaposition of anxious energy and downcast lyrics for a shuffling house rhythm that plays up the morose quality Lamont Dozier and the Holland brothers were shooting for with their lyrics.
Hit play on the “World Is Empty” below and look out for it on streaming services where it’ll be landing via Circo Loco with an extended, seven-minute mix.
