So a day after professing my love for “Crash and Burn”, it’s announced that “Body Language” will be the fourth single from Jesse McCartney’s “Departure”. It’s a summer song, and it piggybacks well on the upbeat momentum of “How Do You Sleep”, but there’s already a remix (check it out here) with
Crazy Frog T-Pain. Other than being able to say T-Pain is on the record, the auto-tuner vocals brings no benefit to the record. It’s actually pretty clear in the mix that it’s pieced together like Frankenstein (check out the T-Pain bridge), and it loses a lot of the flow of the original. Any opinions? The original version is down below [UPDATED CLIP]:
i’m quite happy with the no T-Pain version thankee very much 🙂
Hmm…I haven’t played a Jesse song as compulsively as I play “Crash And Burn” since we first heard “Leavin'” and “How Do You Sleep,” but “Body Language” IS good…just not quite as good. The T-Pain featuring version isn’t really doing anything extra for me (and I definitely prefer Jesse on the middle 8), but I do have a tendency to too quickly judge changes to songs.
T-Pain = Crazy Frog! Total LOL!
Agreed, Paul.
PG, I’m completely with you. I was actually momentarily stunned when I read it, but multiple sites have reported the same thing. The T-Pain mix confirmed it, although I even went as far as saying to myself “that COULD be a fraud”.
Yuri, D’Luv helped inspire that. I can’t take full credit.
I agree the original is better. Not only because there’s no T-Pain, but the melody is a little better too. However, this song isn’t really doing it for me. I agree “Crash and Burn” is better. I’m not exactly a big Jesse fan anyway, although I’ll admit to be enjoying his current single (“How Do You Sleep”) more and more.
