What better way to pay homage to the late, great Whitney Houston than to remix her track "I Learned From The Best"?! New York City based producer Gryffin has remixed Houston's track and it just solidifies my confidence in Gryffin's abilities. We were fortunate enough to debut Gryffin's Summer Mixtape exclusively a few weeks back, and that was an equally magical release. Gryffin has his thumb on the pulse of summer music right now and this melodic, deep-house-ish remix is light and worth being put on repeat as you lay by the pool, or you should belt out the lyrics while you're in the shower because I know you know the words.
Houston's vocals pull on our heart strings as always, but Gryffin has manipulated the song to give off a happy and uplifting energy through the unmistakable house beat. You need to have a listen to the track below, but only if you're prepared for the happiness to wash over year eardrums. If you like Whitney at all or if you like summer dance music at all, you're going to love this!
