A Tune To Keep Driving For?
From the moment that I heard “Fast Car”, when Tracy Chapman released it in 1988, I’ve not only loved it, but I also thought it would be perfect to remake or remix.
Years later, probably in the middle of the 90s, when I met a club DJ, I even provided him the track with the challenge to create a remix of it, which he actually never manage to figure out. Oh well, some people just don’t share the same vision, but now, there’s someone who did.
His name is Jonas Blue and he has updated the track to 2016. The guitars have gone, and have been replaced by piano to make this happen, but it’s not at all a bad attempt.
