Idina Menzel - Let It Go (Armin van Buuren Remix)
When I first heard that Armin Van Buuren, one of trance music's biggest superstar, did a remix of the iconic "Let it Go" from Frozen, I was skeptical. It seemed like the sort of thing that was very easy to get wrong. Youtube and Soundcloud are full of mixes that seem to think that just adding a dance beat and speeding up the song will make it a trance song. Remix it, fine, but if you're going to call it trance, it has to work as a trance song on its own terms.
And honestly... I shouldn't have worried. Because, in my opinion, this works. Armin Van Buuren kept enough of the original song to make it recognizable while creating something that follows trance conventions and is, honestly, kind of uplifting.
Check it out for yourself.
