SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted August 24, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted August 24, 2009 What happens if you take the Killers song "All These Things That I've Done", give it to top UK record producer Fraser T Smith to re-work, and get the UK's hottest soul, hip hop and grime talent together in a studio for a day? The answer is at http://www.youtube.com/user/warchilduk#play/uploads/0/3Pdc_Ov0qX8, and is really rather good. And all in aid of War Child. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted August 24, 2009 Author SI Staff Share Posted August 24, 2009 The intro sounds good ... cant wait for october the 19th now I was honoured to be in the studio for the afternoon of the recording session. Whilst not my normal genre of music, I was amazed how talented these kids are, including some that I'd previously dismissed (like Dappy from N-Dubz, who really knows his stuff musically, which surprised me.). No one had heard the version of the track until the morning, yet all was done in one day, including the raps being written on the fly, and most doing their parts in a couple of takes. I'll wager that this is going to be a rather big hit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suge Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I can tell it's gonna be good just from the intro. Production quality is top notch. Shame about Pixie Lott being on it but I can easily fast-forward her part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenArsenal Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Pixie Lott is just amazing! - In terms of being hot! Her music is poo! Mostly agree. But she sang a version of Apologize (from OneRepublic) on her website. And I thought it was good. :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Flintoff Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The original is my favourite song of all time, so surprise surprise... ...I love it?? I should hate it, it should be abysmal, the artists involved are the type I can't stand. And yet...I love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suge Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think it's outstanding. Bloody top quality tune. Even has Frankmusik who I think is one of the most talented producers going.

STICKMAN007 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Not my type of music.. Never really a big fan of N-Dubz or VV Brown etc.. But damn, how awesome was that!? Not only did it have my girlfriend (Pixie Lott ) in it, but the way it was remixed was fantastic! I love The Killers just as much as the next guy, but this was something different..something great. Hope it's successful EDIT: Woo! My 100th post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
