NELLY - DA DERRTY VERSIONS (The Reinvention)
The old adage goes: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." With a catalogue of Top 10 hits, platinum plus selling records, and Grammy, BET, Source, MTV and Billboard awards and nominations, that saying surely applies to St. Louis super star Nelly (Cornell Haynes).
However, once you've introduced the world to the inimitable "Midwest Swing," what else is there to do? You create a remix album. Pause. This is not an album of recycled tracks. Nelly's newest offering, Da Derrty Versions, is a reinvention album.
On Da Derrty Versions (The Reinvention), the St. Lunatics' head honcho pushes the proverbial envelope by taking selections from his inventory of hits and musically transforming them. You may have thought you loved "Country Grammar" or "Dilemma" in their original states, but with the help of some of his colleagues, Nelly virtually recreates the songs that make the whole world sing. Whether it's with innovative vocals, fresh instrumentals or both, Da Derrty Versions prevails as the brand new blueprint for the remix album.
"Basically, we already had the formula for the songs the first time around," Nelly explains, "all we're doing is reinventing the idea of these songs, playing with them a little bit."
