Free Download: Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' (Louis La Roche Remix)
Michael Jackson's amazing sure-fire party starter Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' was written for Jackson sister LaToya. MJ and Quincy Jones wrote it with her in mind, but we all know who ended up recording it. Released in May '83 as the fourth of seven singles from Thriller it wasn't a huge hit on its own. Amazingly enough it only reached US #81 and UK #69. Its best chart position was #3 in Sweden! We love it and think it must be all those album sales messing with it, haha. You know it having huge opening numbers (one million a week) and being the best selling album of all time and all, hehe. British producer Louis La Roche has done a truly fresh remix for the Christmas party season. We're still having his amazing take on Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill on repeat so trust this new one will get some spins too right about now. We love the clean sound and the directness of it. The amped up the disco feel grabs you and won't let go, as it should be. Top marks!
