Carlos Serrano takes Lana Del Rey’s classic “Young and Beautiful” and turns the starlet’s mega-single into his own house classic; with uplifting melodies, smooth, beautiful synths that perfectly fade behind Del Rey’s lounge-like voice, and drops that transition seamlessly into pure emotion, Serrano’s remix is huge in every way. A chilling, emotionally-driving remix, Carlos Serrano combines the emotion of house music with Del Rey’s vocals effortlessly in a remix that is sure to make those feelings of love bubble to the surface.
The song begins with nice, poppy percussion. The drums have a tight sound to them which are quickly accompanied by lofty synths faded behind them. Once Del Rey’s voice enters, it breaks down to simply her and solid, echoing piano keys which really helps build the emotion expressed in this torch song of unrequited love. The transition from vocals to build is flawless; the drums pick back up where they left towards the end of her vocals, which is followed by the lofty synths again. It then builds quickly with poppy keys, dropping with an uplifting melody of synths.
We live in an era where the main focus of most EDM artists is to get you to move your body; its not often that they can make you cry as well. However, Carlos Serrano really combines the elements of dance and emotion into this remix to form a track which I personally love intensely. The happy, loving melody combined with Del Rey’s vocals make this one that can really pull on the heart strings and give you chills every time you listen. Serrano is giving this one out for a free download, so make sure you get it now.
