Next’s ‘Too Close’ is a certified classic. The blend of catchy R&B feels and overt sexual innuendo have made it a staple for the past 20 years. NY duo The 1989 have opted to give it a fresh 2017 flip and it definitely hits the mark. The combination of nostalgic lyrics with booming bass, chopped vocals, deep kicks and some loose bed squeaks give the first half a serious club makeover. The second portion switches it up with a vibey break, letting the vocals breathe, before dropping it into some bass heavy future feels. Oh and it’s also a free download. Try not to get too excited.
