I Feel You In Every Molecule Of Me

Beyonce Knowles featuring Vanness Wu “Crazy In Love” – I know what you are thinking. “Crazy In Love” is an amazing song. Pretty much everyone agrees that it’s this year’s Summer Pop Anthem. It’s the kind of song that God sends to us so that He can prove to us all that we can get along and agree about some things once in a while. But don’t you ever hear the song, and feel as though it is missing something? Like, say, a guy from an Tawianese boy band rapping in Chinese over the bridge where Jay-Z would be? Well, you can rest easy now. This version of “Crazy In Love” was created for the Chinese market with the hope that a cameo by the Chinese star Vanness Wu of F4 would boost the sales of the Beyonce record, since she is a relatively unknown artist in the far east. Apparently, it has worked, and this version of the song is a big hit in China. If any of you out there are DJs, I dare you to play this version at a party/club, just to see how people react when the crazy sounding Chinese rapping comes in halfway through. Let me know if you do.

Richard X featuring Jarvis Cocker “Into You” – This is for all the people who started doubting Jarvis when he started dressing up like a skeleton and singing faux goth songs. This is the sort of complicated mash-up that Richard X specializes in, but I’m not quite sure if I know all of the components. I’m fairly sure that the music is from another song, but I can’t place it. The lyrics may or may not be Jarvis’s, but the chorus and guitar parts are from the Mazzy Star hit “Fade Into You.” If you know more about this song, please let me know in the comments. Whatever this song is made up of, this composition is gorgeous, and one of the finest ballads of 2003 by far.
