Mariah Carey feat Miguel - #Beautiful (Louie Vega remix)

The R&B song has been doing its thing on radio for the last few weeks. Earlier this week, Mariah unveiled one of the rap mixes featuring an added verse by A$ap Rocky. Today she unveiled the first dance remix by Louie Vega, one half of legendary House production team Masters At Work. The R&B song translates perfectly into Louie's style as it has a soulful, laidback feel. However, the melody of the production seems to not match the vocals all that well. It seems a little off. The remix really lacks direction in its edit. The full length version might flow better as it may have additional instrumental buildups, however, this edit just falls short. Mariah and her team must be commended for selecting someone who hasn't done a mainstream remix of this nature in almost 8 years.
