[Soul/Synth-Pop] Mapei – Don’t Wait (Happy Accidents Vocal Remix)

Mapei
Don't Wait (Happy Accidents Vocal Remix)

Some songs are so beautiful they immediately stop you dead in your tracks. When we first were played Mapei’s “Don’t Wait”, which we featured all the way back in November of last year, we experienced that exact feeling in spades. Today, that beautiful single gets a lovely mid-tempo dance-pop remix from the nation spanning music project that is Happy Accidents. Currently made up of one artist, general musician and producer; the 90’s Britpop influenced, melodic-pop trio have authored the soulful dance sibling to Mapei’s touching original. The orginal recording’s instrumentation receives a complete overhaul in favor of sticky sweet melody and delicate synth work to take “Don’t Wait” somewhere only these three could. Happy Accidents’ remix has already received official support from both Mapei herself and Columbia & Downtown Records, and comes with our TMN stamp of approval all over it. About the tune they had this to say: “When we first heard the song, it resonated with us right away and inspired us to have our own take on it — reworking the vocals and instruments. We sent it to her team, who gave their approval and support to share it with all of you.” Grab the free download here and try not to cry as hard as we did when the first verse hits.

Sunday Night Soul [Vol. 16]

Good evening ninjas. It’s the first weekend of March, which means spring is right around the corner (although the snow outside my window would seem to indicate otherwise). Tonight also happens to be Oscars night, and since your favorite movie/actor/composer didn’t win that award you so desperately wanted them to (sorry again, Leo. There’s always next time), you’ll have to begin the healing/venting process somewhere (probably through Twitter). Well, we’ve  got the soundtrack for both transitions right here, with another excellent edition of Sunday Night Soul. This week’s lineup features some incredibly beautiful numbers from a multitude of talented artists. I know we say that just about every time, but efforts from Owl EyesGabriel Garzón MontanoSunni Colón, abhi//dijon, Olsen, Chiara, Saint Pepsi, Olivia Louise, Gene Noble, Black Atlasskuma, Beshken and Giraffage really struck a chord with us this week.

[Soul] Mapei – Don’t Wait

Mapei
Don't Wait

Add Mapei to the list of artists I would have on my soundtrack for my life.
This stunning soulful singer from Sweden has a unique sound that cannot be put into one genre box which is what makes her so wonderful. Mapei’s influences range from hip-hop to dance-pop to Swedish club and gospel, combining all of them together she captures a sound all of her own. Add in her soft, deep and seductive voice and this Swedish beauty makes such beautiful music. Her song “Don’t Wait” tells a simple tale of love between two people, a love that shouldn’t wait for the world but should embrace everything in its path. This soul-filled singer is bound to make it onto other people’s soundtracks because we all need a little soul in our lives.
