![]() ![]() ![]() The track has that similarity, largely preserving the instrumental from the original song as well as the chorus. All beloved music depends on a level of familiarity, where fans expect a trademark quality within artists’ projects. Yet, the remix of “Breathe Deeper” isn’t as mismatched as it may appear - and is even exciting in that regard. ![]() “Breathe Deeper” and the release of the single anticipates a newness on the deluxe album (that features multiple remixes and a B-side) that die-hard fans may not love. While the rapper exists in a realm of his own, the single was widely popular among fans who agreed that the duo was fitting (the two even performed the song at Coachella in 2019). Take A$AP Rocky’s 2018 single “Sundress” for example, which samples the Tame Impala track “Why Won’t You Make Up Your Mind?” It has an aura about it that is a perfect concoction of the two artists: A mix of A$AP Rocky’s dreamy psychedelic rap and Parker’s cool indie energy. On paper, the remix appears unfitting, especially in comparison with past collaborations its release seemed like major potential to be a letdown. Like all artists, Yachty has a signature sound that at first listen, probably wouldn’t fit well with Parker’s. Choosing to remix the track, especially one that defined a new artistic era for Parker, is a risky move, especially with Lil Yachty - who is successful in his own right, but isn’t known for bending genres. 2 position on the Billboard chart, cementing itself as a fan favorite by embodying what Tame Impala does best: groovy signature synths with a cohesive elevation from the last project that makes for versatile listening. When The Slow Rush was released in 2020, “Breathe Deeper” rose to the No. Because I would definitely listen to it on repeat.As Tame Impala, Kevin Parker delivers the song of the (Australian) summer with the release of the remix to “Breathe Deeper.” The remix, which features Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty, is a breezy party anthem that puts a spin on the indie mainstay’s traditional allure. It’s almost unfortunate that this minute-long groove isn’t its own track that can be put on repeat by itself. Parker sings a few little background lines but you can hardly understand the lyrics and it doesn’t matter. This unexpected, standalone outro section grooves like mad, introducing a scrape-y distorted synth pattern that just shakes its ass all the way until the song’s real ending. But not only is there more milkshake, but it’s magically – impossibly, confoundingly – a different flavour entirely that’s even tastier than the original milkshake. SIC! There’s more! You slurped the last drop of milkshake and didn’t realise there was a metal canister with EVEN MORE MILKSHAKE. Maybe I’ll start it over again from the beginning so I can hear it again. Parker might as well have sampled it directly off the opening bars of Warren G’s “Regulate”. Like the burbling fart of an electronic didgeridoo. The elongated synth notes that enter here sound AMAZING. It has this silvery, swishy reverb that occasionally echoes back, call and response. It’s both catchy and low-key adorable.Īlso, I love the vocal effect on his voice. A one-man band creating his own background-singer doo-wop garnish. After every line, singer Kevin Parker tacks on this this plucky, upbeat little “ I can!” Like a tagline on a tie-dyed, motivational blacklight poster. It almost sounds like a taut rubber band being flicked and amplified. The funk-bass refrain that opens the song has such a pleasant, round-rubbery chonk to it. ![]()
