alicia keys - like you'll never see me again (seiji remix)

i heard about this one through the djricomixshow forums when they announced that "like you'll never see me again" would be the next single from her "as i am" album. to be honest i hadn't heard the original but i saw that it included a seiji remix so i was sold.

i was madly in love with his remix of erykah badu's "honey" and he was a producer i was quite a fan of in general. i heard a sample of the remix and really love it's fun 80's vibe. it's always weird remixing ballads and adding a different backdrop to it since in a few cases it contrasts to much with the nature of the original.

that was the issue i had with the uberzone remix of sarah mclachlan's "sweet surrender" where her emotional vocals clashed with the neo-electro breaks. seiji however seemed to find a good balance and i really loved the combination of the arpeggiated synth and the chunky bass.
