Rhye - The Fall (Maurice Fulton Remix)

  • Share
  • After what feels like a mountain of online confusion as to the true identity of indie-soul duo Rhye, let's clear a few things up: Mike, from Toronto, met Robin, from Copenhagen, in the latter's native city, after meeting to iron out the details of a remix Mike was doing for Robin's band, Quadron. One track soon became three, and in time, LA imprint Innovative Leisure decided to sign them. Their second single, The Fall, was released in December 2012 and was met with such acclaim that the label decided to give fans a second bite of the cherry, this time arming the 12-inch with a Maurice Fulton remix. For those unfamiliar with the original, Mike's honeyed, cordial vocals fuse with sparkling, emotive piano, with lyrics like "Make love to me/One more time/Before you go away," framing the record's sweet pop sensibility. Fulton straps a jittering, electro-funk bassline to isolated vocal fragments, simultaneously preserving the beauty and soul of the original, while reimagining it within a dancier context.
