Another day, another breathtaking song from The Knocks. This time they take on the anthemic “Not On Drugs,” which appeared on Tove Lo‘s Truth Serum EP last March. The duo set a dramatic tone by looping Tove’s vocals over a rumbling instrumental as they ease their way into the remix’s more uninhibited moments. Gone for the most part are the original’s dramatic sweeps, replaced here by striking keys punctuated by snappy percussion and sparkling synths. When it all comes together, the track becomes far less theatrical and far more euphoric; it’s a serious emotional flip, and it makes the song absolutely irresistible.

“Not On Drugs (The Knocks Remix)” is available now on the vinyl release of Tove Lo’s album, Queen Of The Clouds.
