Levitating (remix, still relevant)
Dua Lipa ft. Tame Impala
The original is already a vintage piece of pop-psych perfection—Dua Lipa's voice floating over Mark Ronson's disco-influenced production with effortless warmth. The Tame Impala remix, helmed by Kevin Parker, takes that foundation and wraps it in analog-dream textures: slightly warped bass, hazier reverb, guitars that sound like they're being played through a wall of water. Parker's signature distorted-pastoral aesthetic sits surprisingly well against Lipa's precision, adding psychedelic depth without sacrificing the song's essential accessibility. The result is like the original heard through the lens of a half-remembered dream—all the melodic pleasure intact but with new atmospheric weight. Thematically the song is about gravitational pull toward someone, and the remix amplifies that feeling by making the production itself feel slightly unreal, as if the singer is not quite sure whether what's happening is real or wished-for.
