To celebrate the US release of her latest single "3 Hours" (already out worldwide), MTV Iggy's launched their massive Emika feature on their site. There are special exclusive live performances of her singles "3 Hours" and "Double Edge" as well as a never before seen interview. Click here for the goodness.
The single, taken from Emika's's debut album Emika, features remixes from Kilon TeK and Jimmy Edgar, who not only re-worked "3 Hours" into "Hit Me", but also directed videos for both track.
As Emika explains, "'3
Hours' is my original. 'Hit Me' features Jimmy Edgar, his voice,
singing, musical style/twist and sound signature. he worked on 'Hit Me'
on his own using my vocal also and transformed it into a suitably
challenging pop song. Together they make a package which pokes fun at
'mainstream' and 'underground' music. For me, both these worlds of
music are inextricably linked, and one would not exist without the
other, ultimately making them the same thing. A bunch of musicians all
working on making their own capitalist success by reaching as many
people as they can through music...Jimmy took a playful approach to the
visual, we made it together in our agent's bedroom in Berlin."
3 Hours is out now, buy at the Ninjashop and iTunes. Emika is currently holding a remix competition, more info here.
