a remix of the song that asked the mtv generation, "where is the love?" was remixed to keep it's sound fresh.
what became the theme of the rock the vote generation's push for 20 million registered voters, has become more and more stale, due to the song's popularity, and being overplayed on the nation's top 40 radio stations.
i decided to remix the song, to make it a little more fresh. Because Justin Timberlake distanced himself from the more political end of the song, i decided to bring out his vocals a little more.
added effects, sped up the song a little, and made it better overall.
The song is "Where Is The Love" By The Black Eyed Peas, it features Popstar/Former N'Sync Member Justin Timberlake. You can find the original song on the Black Eyed Peas' Most recent Album "Elephunk" or on the CD Soundtrack "Songs that inspired Fahrenheit 9/11"

Call Your Lawyer!!!
As you’re reading this review, go back and reread the producers description of this piece.
Now, you walk into my office, as the general manager of a music station and play your piece for me. I love it. It’s great I wonder where this music came from! Okay, it’s not Marvin’s What’s Going On, but I’m hip, I’m cool, I’m Youth Oriented. I’m down, Let’s spin it!
Then you tell me what is in your description and I fire you and tell you never to come back to the station again. Why?
Did you clear this remix with the copyright holder? No? Then by broadcasting it you make the station a target for a big lawsuit that will get you, the PD, the GM and everyone else who knew about it fired. Sorry, bud, you may not like the laws, but a radio station is business that has to live by them. (Yo-PRX-You guys covered on this!?)
Frankly, the producer of this piece should be immediately hired by a record label and paid lots of money. The remix does indeed make song more danceable, more accessible to older folks like me. Heck, it’s in my iPod and I’ve played for folks who resist Rap and Hip-Hop and they too enjoy it. This guy knows how to do it and deserves attention. But given by not knowing if the copyright holder is cool with it…in my iPod it stays not on the air.
When you remix a tune, you should be doing it with the listener in mind, not your own agenda. Ok, sure your agenda is going to be there but don’t tell anyone. Leave a them guessing a bit. Believe in the listener enough that the ones who are aware will figure something out like the Justin thing, or just let them enjoy your work. Tell me that you remixed this so it could be used on stations with differing formats, or in clubs across cultures. Expanding the reach of a song through your work (if done legally) is a wonderful accomplishment.
