Don’t Kill My Vibe Remix

Don't Kill My Vibe Sigrid Remix

One of my favourite Sigrid tunes is Don’t Kill My Vibe, released in early 2017. Here’s my remix.

The original had a some brilliant production with some cool vocal fx. I thought it would be fun to try a more 1980’s vibe with rock guitar in the verses and some big 80s pads in the chorus. Check out the full remix below. If you scroll down you’ll see a shorter video breakdown of some of the parts.
