Tour De Vaap

“The scars of your love,

Remind me of us,

They keep me thinking that we could have had it all”

In this soulful remix of “Crazy,” Adele’s powerful vocal masterpiece “Rolling in the Deep” is laid over Gnarl’s Barkley’s original track by mix masters Divide & Kreate. However, unlike most mash-ups, they avoided a fatal flaw. By omitting the Cee-lo’s vocals, “Crazy in the Deep” truly emphasizes Adele’s vocal strength while putting a refreshing, upbeat tempo to the fervent, yet almost melancholy lyrics. The similarity between Cee-lo’s and Adele’s vocal style is uncanny, for as we were listening it seemed it wasn’t a mash-up at all, but rather an original track. When Adele belts “we could have had it all,” it parallels the famous transition into the chorus of “Crazy” in such a way that gives a compelling homage to the original without having to include anything but its instrumental track. – M. Hoff and L. Jones
