Kleerup feat Loreen - Requiem Solution

Kleerup teams up with fellow Swedish recording artist Loreen (who won the Eurovision Song Contest last year with "Euphoria") on this haunting, gorgeous song. Kleerup has perfected the art of the emotional, midtempo electronic song with a classical undertone. The song may take several listens to really get into, though once it does, it doesn't let go. It's devastatingly beautiful with Loreen vocals. She could sing almost anything and it would sound great.

Loreen - Euphoria

She first won the Melodifestivalen in Sweden earlier this year with this song and went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest. The uplifting Dance/Pop track begins slow and dark, building towards a big chorus just as the beats come in. Loreen's powerful vocals are brilliant. In addition to the exquisite original are mixes by Alex Moreno, 7th Heaven, and Wawa. Alex Moreno's mix is beautiful with the piano instrumental breaks. 7th Heaven's is a bit darker until it gets to the chorus. Wawa's mix is somewhere in between in terms of the sound. It manages to be pretty and dark at the same time. Overall, the original single version is the best one, but all the remixes are good.
