‘Angel’ comes up in three catchy interpretations. Ralf GUM & CrisP once again show their extraordinary remix-ability and concoct a magic potion, with hipping beats, rolling baseline, lovely keys and generous live-instrumentation. Benny Pecoraio delivers a more reduced, underground-sounding dance-floor slammer with interesting harmony changes and pumping bass & beats. Together with Matteo’s Original Mix, which comes up in best soulful tradition,GOGO Music comes up with a rounded off single.
