Becky Hill follows up ‘Overdrive’ with solo outing ‘Caution to the Wind’
Becky Hill earned her first UK number #1 after lending her soulful vocal talents to Oliver Helden's "Gecko" for the track's "Overdrive" reboot. Now the sultry song siren sets off on her own for "Caution to the Wind," a subdued deep cut that substitutes her breakout's high energy house backbone for a downtempo kaleidoscope of percussive flairs. A wind chime's worth of twinkling tones, Hill's vocals are the focal point of her first solo campaign, enhanced by a stunning backing track that establishes the young Brit as the next female vocalist to pave a path to success following a dance collaboration. Expect more single's and remixes to come leading up to her debut album in 2015.
Oliver Heldens X Becky Hill – Gecko (Overdrive) (Matrix & Futurebound Remix)
FFRR Records continues on its quality over quantity release schedule with Matrix & Futurebound's raucous remix of Oliver Heldens "Gecko (Overdrive)." In lieu of its new name courtesy of Becky Hill's vocal acumen, the remix actually gets put into overdrive by the drum and bass phenoms. As if the original wasn't bouncy enough, the UK duo install a fresh transmission on Heldens hulking monster, kicking the mix out of the club and off a cliff of drum driven breaks. The pairing of the deep sounds of now with nostalgic DnB percussion almost seems too perfect, enhancing what was an already gripping groove with a speed-freaked tempo shift that amps up the energy without sacrificing a shred of quality.
