Tessa Violet Completes First EP with Remixes by Le Youth & Viceroy
On the heels of her massively successful debut single “Crush,” breakout star Tessa Violet completes her premiere EP Bad Ideas (Act One) with two enigmatic remixes. Enlisting the musical prowess of Le Youth and Viceroy, Violet’s “Crush” and “I Like (the idea of) You” are beautifully reimagined. Both remixes and Bad Ideas (Act One) are available for streaming and purchase now.
“So stoked for people to hear these! I’ve never had remixes of my songs before so wasn’t sure how I’d feel but Le Youth and Viceroy created amazing new takes on my songs that I’m SO thrilled about. They both feel perfect for summer too! And just in time for my summer headline tour that starts this week!” – Tessa Violet
Strong forces in the crossover pop world, Le Youth and Viceroy are no strangers to remixes. Seamlessly blending their electronic flair with Violet’s buoyant vocals, the pair breathe new life into their respective reimaginations. Bubbly and bedroom-pop reminiscent, Le Youth’s take on “Crush” is a dreamy treat, chock-full of lush synths and bright melodies. Viceroy’s “I Like (the idea of) You” sees bassline twang paired with future funk, signature of the artist, and shining through on his remix. With the addition of the two remixes, Tessa Violet’s first EP, Bad Ideas (Act One) sees completion.
“When Tessa asked me to remix her single, the first thing that came to my head was to give this a nice summery disco treatment. I’m stoked on the results and I will be playing this out at pool parties all summer!” – Viceroy
