“Truth” (Jerome LOL Remix)

When it comes to nailing a feeling, LA-based producer Jerome LOL never seems to need more than a line. From the now-defunct LOL Boys’ stunning “Changes” (“Things wont change until we do”) to his unfuckwitable remix of The-Dream’s “Can’t Wait to Hate You” demo (“Today I’m gonna get over you”), his work offers a stark contrast to the maximalism of much of his contemporaries. The former LOL Boy strikes again with his stunning reconstruction of Bloc Party’s welcome back jam, “Truth,” as the Canadian focuses on vocalist Kele Okereke’s plaintiff, honest declaration, “I am yours now, truthfully.” The result is another affecting earworm that uses a simple building block from the original to create a metropolis of emotion.

Check out his remix of The-Dream’s “Can’t Wait to Hate You,” which was written for Mariah Carey. It was my favorite remix of 2012.
