Ciara - "Promise" (Remixes)

[duh5]

I LOVE the Kyaal remix. It's very 80's in a good way.

Pitchfork gave the Kyaal remix 4 and a half stars:

The original defined slow burn, its tantric groove recalling Aaliyah's classy sensuality. So when Ciara first cooed lines like, "You can be my teacher I'll do homework/ You can give me extra credit baby I'll do more work," she sounded sexy, not smutty. Especially when coupled with its video's elegant, mesmerizing choreography, "Promise" easily became one of the year's best r&b singles. All that makes this equally appealing synth-pop overhaul-- courtesy of this self-proclaimed "Remix King of Sweden"-- even more audacious and impressive. Fearlessly reinventing the near flawless track, Kyaal boosts the tempo, adds a bulbous funk bassline, airy drumbox flitters and echoing cowbell, emerging with a totally '80s flashdance zip that all but demands its own rainbow leotard aerobics video. Now, the singer's sweaty passion evaporates into a bubbly blast of teenage exuberance. It's all smiley, pre-crack Whitney-- Ciara just wants to dance with somebody who loves her. Sultry, sweet; win, win.

That's a great remix. It's more 80's to me than dnace, but it's great nonetheless.

I like the instrumental on the Broeder one. I want to hear the version with more vocals though.
