Straight out of the Uh Oh Disco vault, June 1st marked the official release of Questions’ version of Oasis’s coveted Wonderwall. Was it risky? Of course it was. Was it reckless beyond stupidity? Yes indeed. But then, isn’t that what music is all about in the first place? Imagine where we’d be if Skream resigned to the fact that his beats sound like tin cans being mashed against a chalkboard, and gone on to make pop music instead. Where would we be then eh?
So let’s get this straight. The guy remixed a classic. Or rather, he snagged the vocal, and wrote an entirely new tune around it, and though we’ve all come to know the “poorly remixed mainstream track” as almost a genre in and of its own right, Questions’ super fat, yet silky smooth take on Wonderwall simply refuses to fit in.
Don’t believe it? Have a listen:
