Search - Utada :: Devil Inside

Good dance track with an asian flavor

"Solidly sung dance song featuring asian influenced synths, the track comes in 8 flavors on this CD maxi single:

1. Album Version

2. RJD2 Remix

3. Richard Vission Radio Edit

4. The Scum Frog Radio Edit

5. Richard Vission Experience

6. Richard Vission Duberience

7. The Scum Frog Vocal Mix

8. The Scum Frog Dub



The RJD2 Remix is the most interesting, eschewing the driving beat of the album version for a more relaxed tempo and funky piano chords.



Richard Vission's mixes, while not bad, are a tad lacking in originality. The beat he uses bears a hell of a resemblance to Donna Summer's 70's classic, "I Feel Love," and beyond that, it doesn't really do much with the song the way the RJD2 mix did.



The Scum Frog mixes aren't very ground breaking either, but they tend to have more fun with the vocals, and add some very appealing trance elements.



Overall, a solid buy for the money, and a solid entry for Utada (or the artist formerly known as Hikaru =) ) into the US music scene."

"Devil Inside is a really good song, but those remixes are even better! The Richard Vission remix is totally cool - no wonder it's doing so well on Billboard Dance!"
