Kelly Lee Owens covers Aaliyah, remixes said cover
London electronic pop luminary Kelly Lee Owens, whose debut LP is easily in our top 5 records of 2017, shares a new cover of an Aaliyah classic, and her own remix of that cover, both of which will be released on limited 12" next month via Smalltown Supersound. KLO talks about her love for Aaliyah, and how covering "More Than a Woman" only deepened her appreciation for the greatness of Aaliyah and Timbaland:
"My love and respect for Aaliyah as an artist / vocalist and Timbaland as a producer increased ten fold as I picked the track apart and understood how intricate and layered everything was. I chose to combine my favorite elements of the original track with my love of analogue production - a stripped down version, and an ode to Aaliyah, one of the greatest. The remix of my cover was something I wanted to write and produce that gave the original track new life, and also gave people a sense of power - it's unapologetic.”
