Back in early June, Best of the Booth nominee Pure slid us the exclusive premiere of current single Sample, a promo cut on which the rising R&B star paid tribute to a female who left every guy in the spot longing for another taste. Though summer ‘09’s nearly over (time flies, huh?), the singer’s still crushing just as hard as he was at the season’s start—thus, we’re proud to present the Booth-exclusive world premiere of the track’s official remix. With the Newark native’s soulful vocals and the Venture Bros. synth-heavy beat left intact, this is more of a “new and improved” version than a full-scale reimagining, but, considering the rave reviews the original cut won from many of our regulars, that shouldn’t be a handicap. This revamp’s main addition, a brand new opening verse by Red Cafe, feels like it belonged on the record from the get-go—the Brooklynite’s sing-song flow sounds right at home over the Bros.’ jittery percussion rhythm. Is this catchy track just as addictive the second time around? As always, Booth readers have the final say.

Been a minute with Pure, but this was nice here. Liked the recruiting of Red Cafe to get it a little more street, but Pure kept the opiginal R&B touch on here. Lovin the premiere!

When we dropped the original version, I said that the record "simply works." Ditto on this amped-up remix, with the homie Cafe on the opening 16.

Pure knows his way around a melody but this is same as Original ... Rotation-Stuff. Guests could've been of some help to change that rating, but the one who turn up on "Sample" don't really add anything new to the mix ... This track has potential but I don't see it becoming smash.
