It takes a pretty unique artist to be able to emulate both Jay–Z and Beyoncé (and a police siren) on one song, but if anyone is going to do something like that, it’s Future. Somewhere between a remix and a cover, the Astronaut himself rides his intergalactic “surfbort” all over a pretty close replica of the original “Drunk in Love” beat, making several references to the original song while changing a few of the words around to more accurately fit his “Thug n’ B” style. While most will prefer Bey’s pretty and powerful voice to Fewtch’s trademark warbling, he stays within his lane and does a fine job preserving the tone and energy of the song.
Remix Wednesday: "Drunk in Love"—Beyoncé
