Free Download: Tori Amos - Professional Widow (ANTWON&NTM 2015 EDIT)

For Tori Amos fans her Boys For Pele album era in '96 & '97 was an especially glowing time. It was considered then as her least commercial and accessible material released yet debuted at #2 in the US and was her first to debut in the top 10. Fans had a reason to celebrate big time as it sold well, had a multitude of layers to try and penetrate plus scored a huge and now timeless dance classic. Professional Widow, thought to be about Courtney Love, is in its album version a funky, hellish and brutal song filled with harpsichord and sharp vocals and lyrcis that borrow from Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Sphinx. For the single release it had a huge makeover by Armand Van Helden that cut up the lyrics with *it's got to be big* looped as a mantra + added in the song title. It also added a gorgeous club beat for the ages. The result was a huge #1 in the UK that became a club classic. Welsh duo ANTWON&NTM builds on this remix with a sleek deep house feel. Love how it adds a contemporary vibe yet doesn't lose the shimmer of its roots. The guys from Swansea truly offers something new and big that Tori's picky widow would have no problems accepting. Top marks!
