On September 19th Rough Trade are re-releasing Warpaint’s debut album The Fool, which we recommended when it was released around nine months ago. People purchasing the new version of the album will get the nine original tracks, as well as a newly remixed version of “Billie Holiday,” the sultry highlight from the band’s debut EP Exquisite Corpse. The new version, mixed by Pulp’s Steve Mackey, is a lot more thumping than the original, and places less emphasis on the vocal harmonies that carried the original. The new version of “Billie Holiday” is being released as a single as well.
Check out the new version below, and we’ve posted the old version beneath so you can compare and contrast. Leave us a comment telling us which you prefer.
