mixtape maestro (2.0)

For this remix to future pop sensation Colin Munroe‘s uber-catchy new single “Will I Stay”, a DC-born mixtape phenom and one of R&B’s biggest producers of the ’90′s are brought on board, tinkering enough with the ditty to help garner it some more attention without completely siphoning out it’s original pop appeal.

Now, those sunny guitar lines that provide the track’s winning musical hook have been tricked out with synthesized elfin-voice embellishments, while Munroe has gained a sympathizing bud in wordplay wiz Wale, who’s busy trapped within his own relationship paradox (“She don’t really love me and I feel the same/ A love-less relationship but we scared to say/ And this game we play/ Is a lot like spades/ A heart means nothing with two jokers in the way”).

Set for inclusion on Munroe’s new mixtape, Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero (due December 1st), “Will I Stay (Remix)” provides yet another reason why this multi-talent deserves your (legal) copping consideration when his official debut full-length drops in the new year.
