Lana Del Rey - Young And Beautiful (Offer Nissim Remix)

The haunting original was given an official remix by Cedric Gervais who had previously remixed "Summertime Sadness". That other remix managed to be picked up by mainstream radio and it was a huge hit all over the world. The "Young And Beautiful" mix was cut from the same cloth. The remix sadly lost some of the charm that the original had.

A couple of days ago, Offer Nissim has posted a remix he made of the song that stays true to the original (it actually uses the minimally produced song to get the vocals). It begins in a dark, beatless fashion as the original does. As the vocals come in, it builds up and the beats come in. After somewhat of a buildup, a riff finally arrives. The riff is inspired by Deep Zone's underground classic "It's Gonna Be Alright (Help Is On The Way)". The second verse plays after that. Only the bridge has been omitted, however, that's okay.
