Ted & Francis “Erlend (G.L.O.V.E.S. ‘I Love Whitney’ Remix)”
Australian duo Ted & Francis‘ original “Erlend” was an infectious, electro-pop confection that made good use of a steady dance backbeat-meets-hushed-vocals marriage, but we’re REALLY feeling the amusingly-titled ‘I Love Whitney’ remix by producer (and fellow Aussie) G.L.O.V.E.S, who recasts the track as a late-night, ’80′s lite-R&B groover.
The accompanying press release might describe the soft-to-the-touch prom night jam as ‘White boy Whitney Houston’, but to us, it screams ‘retro-fixated Mariah Carey semi-cover’ or ‘Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis + The Human League’ more than anything else.
The original can be found on Ted & Francis’ new, self-titled Kitsuné-backed EP.
