K. Sparks ft. Julius Francis - Let Me Fly (Kurser Remix)

K. Sparks - Let Me Fly (Kurser Remix)

Producer: Kurser

Album: A Day in the Life (Kurser Remix Suite)

Label: Unsigned

Originally featured in ‘09 as part of the artist’s legendary Manic Mondays series, A Day in the Life inclusion Let Me Fly found Queens phenom K. Sparks celebrating music’s power to lift us above the stresses of our daily lives. Well aware that, wonderful or not, the holiday season’s by far the most anxiety-inducing time of the year, Kurser has thoughtfully selected it as the latest leak off his newly-released Remix Suite. Rather than flipping the record into something nearly unrecognizable, as he did with Mind Elevation, the French beatsmith retains the blissfully relaxing vibe and laid-back melody of the original, switching up the instrumental’s texture with 8-bit synths and burbling bass. Needless to say, Sparks’ virtuosic rhymes and Julius Francis’ smooth hook/backing vocals sound just as impressive over Kurser’s lounge-by-way-of-Nintendo backdrop as they did over G.C.‘s older-school grooves. Like what you’re hearing? More overhauled bangers await on Kurser’s Remix Suite, available now from online retailers.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on December 20, 2010

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11677	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I gave the original 5 stars (as did 20+ other folks who commented on that feature), so it would be hard for the remix, no matter what Kurser did with the beat, to hold up to that standard. Still, this remix offers a fresh take. I'll still award it high marks. Follow @DJBooth

RyanSx Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1217	Rating: RyanSx's Top Rated Songs The original "Let Me Fly" is by far my favorite K. Sparks track of all the time. Everything about that track just screams CLASSIC. While this is a good remix, like DJ Z, I don't think this lives up to the original. Still good, nonetheless.

PrIc3Le$$ Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1306	Rating: PrIc3Le$$'s Top Rated Songs I don't know, i kinda like the remix. The production switch up adds a little more catchiness to the song, both versions, are good as are K. Sparks and Julius Francis.

Greg Street DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 69	Rating: Greg Street's Top Rated Songs Call me crazy...But I like this as much as the original just in a different way. The original had a more traditional hiphop vibe. This on the other hand is a different direction production wise but I vibe with it the same. Kurser is dope and the production and K Sparks does his thing as always.

AP_ALL_DAY_28 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 288	Rating: AP_ALL_DAY_28's Top Rated Songs I wasn't a big fan of the last Kurser Remix that was featured in The Booth. I would've given the original 5 stars if I commented on it. So like Z said it's hard to give a remix 5 stars especially when the original's a classic.

albyLB23 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1805	Rating: albyLB23's Top Rated Songs Im really liking this from K. Sparks. I loved his previous records. And i have been a big fan of him for a long time. This is a very nice record from him. I love the production from Kurser. Also, i really like the featuring from Julius Francis. I must say, K killed it in this. His verses are straight fire. This is a crazy good record. A banger for me.
