Last summer Aluna Francis planted her own flag in the sand when she embarked on her debut solo effort without longtime production partner George Reid. Appropriately titled Renaissance, the record reflected a rebirth of sorts for Aluna, capturing a potent blend of soca, dancehall, pop, and club-ready sounds across 14 tracks featuring credits from a host of equally heavy hitters. The album featured collaborations with KAYTRANADA, SG Lewis, Princess Nokia, and more, along with Mr. Carmack, Scott Storch, and Lido ranked in the project’s production credits.

As 2021 gets underway, Renaissance will enjoy its own rebirth, with a grip of new corresponding remixes now available. Jersey club royalty UNIIQU3 is joined by TSHA, one of Dancing Astronaut‘s Ones to Watch in 2021, The Martinez Brothers, Austin Millz, Bella Boo, and more on a stacked remix collection that offers an invigorating complement to the album’s original groundwork. Rounding out at 10 new remixes, Aluna’s debut solo effort gets an extended shelf life with a handful of refreshing new takes, available now via Diplo‘s Mad Decent.
