Review: Suspicious Minds

First Single from the Viva Elvis – Suspicious Minds.

I wouldn’t call this a remix exactly – it sounds like the music was entirely re-done.

The emotion of the song is so much richer with Elvis’ voice out front and not competing with the orchestral backing.

The new arrangement is minimalist at first and builds in new layers as the song comes to it’s peak.

Best of all, no fake fade in/out.

If this is the calibre of how Sony is going to treat Elvis for the future, then indeed, Elvis will once again be King of the World.

This new version feels so delicious, it’s like being wrapped in bedsheets with a lot of ice cream and chocolate to soothe your broken heart.
