Olivia Reid Shares WEMI & J. Hamilton Remix Of ‘Madness’
NYC-based singer and songwriter Olivia Reid shares Wemi & J. Hamilton's remix of her soothing and cathartic single Madness.
This remix finds the talented producers transforming the chill original into a riveting, dance-floor ready gem that instantly got me excited for a fun weekend. WEMI & J. Hamilton offer us a mesmerising blend of indie acoustics and bold melodic house soundscapes, featuring lush House piano arrangements seamlessly paired with groovy rhythms, lush synths and cinematic strings that create an overall blissful, danceable atmosphere. This is one of those songs that I'd play whenever I want to unwind after a stressful day and just dance the pain away. Check it out below!
Speaking about the remix, Olivia Reid said,
I first wrote ‘Madness’ as a three-act song because it felt so much like a cinematic story. Exploring another chapter of that story via a remix felt right, and I was thrilled to work with J. and WEMI to explore that next iteration. This world of dance music has inspired me greatly in recent years, so seeing people connect with ‘Madness’ in that environment is food for the soul.
WEMI added,
‘Madness’ came at a time when my life was truly in its name…Madness. Tapping into different sounds, genres, and instruments was therapeutic, let alone Olivia's soothing voice.
J. Hamilton reflected,
Olivia’s original version of ‘Madness’ is soothing and cathartic, and with this remix, we wanted to take those same feelings of release into the club and festival setting. WEMI and I had a solid mix, and then my brother Peter Hodgson took it to the next level with the beautiful string arrangement. I’m hoping that people get some good tears from this one!
