Lianne La Havas: "Forget" Laurel Halo Remix

Halo gives La Havas' hit an ominous new lease of life.

I can't get enough of this track from Mercury nominee La Havas as it is, which definitely has nothing to do with the bitter-sweet, "I'm totally over it" lyrics. No siree. That said, this adventurous refix by Brooklynite Laurel Halo, leaves it barely recognizable, bar the uncomfortable looping of the line "Remember way back when you played me/ And I lost that hand". Halo removes any soulful warmth that was once there and replaces it with a kinda glitchy and ominous electronica.

What I'm trying to say, is it's been transformed into the perfect track to arrange to have pumped gently into your ex's room while he's asleep to give him nightmares. Like, "REMEMBER WHEN YOU PLAYED ME? YOU WILL NOW."
