New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The rising pop reign of Softee has only just begun with the recent release of her acclaimed album 'Natural' (via City Slang Records), and today she has been creatively anointed by a fellow groundbreaker of the modern queer pop scene in NYC, Macy Rodman, with her remix of "Isn't Enough".
Softee's original track was called "a glowing moratorium on a romance that's hit a dead end" by FLOOD Magazine, and today's remix, expertly reimagined by the ingenious Macy Rodman (who GayLetter called "the pop star we've been waiting for"), takes the song from crystalline moments of quiet to shimmering bombastic hyper-pop heights.
"I loved the vocals on the original track," said Macy about her remix. "So I wanted to give it a delicate R&B moment in the verses and allow it to really fly off the handle in the choruses. I have always loved "slow to fast" remixes like Deborah Cox's 'Nobody's Supposed To Be Here (Hex
Hector Remix)' and
Ghost Town DJ's 'My Boo'."
Softee's album 'Natural' has received widespread acclaim with KUTX calling it "a mixtape of all the best electronic styles glued together by Softee's incredible vocal performance", Paste praising it as "a symbiotic, personal awakening from an artist knee-deep in her most-transformative era", and
Magnet saying the album is "about to make your summer a lot sweeter," while Rolling Stone hailed her as "[a] DIY pop spectacle" following a recent performance at SXSW.
