“Open” (Ryan Hemsworth)
The original will appear on Rhye’s Woman (due out 3/5 on Loma Vista)
There are some songs that you know you love before you even hear it. I’ve been moderately obsessed with the Sade-recalling duo, formed by Canadian producer Mike Milosh and Robin Hannibal of soulful Danish group Quadron, and everything Canadian producer Ryan Hemsworth turns to solid, body-rockin’, Trinidad-James-level gold. Sure enough, Hemsworth adds his signature deft touch to the spellbinding, seductive original, resulting in a re-imagination that feels new and essential without compromising the magic of Milosh and Hannibal’s vision. Beautiful.
