Babe Rainbow – I Can Try To Run
While I hope this doesn’t start a trend (I can see Heidi Montag: Slowed & Throwed already…) this is a fascinating little remix project by the folks behind Tri Angle records. It might be hard to remember but once upon a time Lindsay Lohan put out the same sort of bland pop music other former child stars got rich with (Britney Spears, Hillary Duff, currently Miley Cyrus). All her mayhem over the last few years put a dent in that, but there were a few songs that leaked more recently before trouble reared its ugly head again for Linds. Taking original material from older and newer tracks by Lohan, the Tri Angle crew reimagine and recontextualize these songs into a soundtrack worthy of a downward spiral. The mix is at its best, as it is here with Babe Rainbow’s “I Can Try To Run”, when they slow things down and get deep and murky.
Just so you can see how vast a difference there is between this and the original, here’s LiLo’s “Stuck” which is the source material for Babe Rainbow’s “I Can Try To Run”:
