French star CELESTAL drops shimmering disco edit of APL.DE.AP and Sandara Park’s ‘2 Proud’
Having remixed and produced for a list of global superstars that includes Kylie Minogue, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears, and the Black Eyed Peas, French talent CELESTAL turns his considerable attention to the Apl.de.Ap and Sandara Park single ‘2 Proud’, delivering a glittering disco-pop remix that’s laced with soft funk and groove.
Picking up the natural rhythm and cadence of APL.DE.AP and Sandara’s toplines, the CELESTAL Dancing Mix is infused with a frisson of euphoria and the delicate touch so indicative of French House. Adding muffled pads, gently driving bass, and shimmering string sections, CELESTAL’s remix takes the original edit and places it firmly on the dance floor.
Currently one of the hottest names in French music, CELESTAL is a chart-topping artist in his own right, thanks to releases ‘Old School Romance’, ‘Out In Style’, and the Sharam Jey and Moss Kena collab ‘Over You’. His latest single, ‘Beautiful Lie’ with Devon Graves, is rapidly climbing the charts in France. The track has been seized upon for radio by NRJ, RTL2, EUROPE 2, FRANCE BLUE, and RFM, and has scaled the heights of the official Shazam France list, breaking into its hotly contested top 50.
When the opportunity to work with one of the iconic Black Eyed Peas came, it was one he naturally jumped at. “Remixing the track of the legendary APL.DE.AP has been an exhilarating experience,” he said. “Infusing it with funky-disco elements, I wanted to highlight the song’s seductive essence, creating a fusion that pulsates with groove and captivates the spirit.”
As ‘2 Proud’ continues to make waves on global radio waves and playlists, this beautiful new take by CELESTAL promises to add even more energy to the original piece.
APL.DE.AP & SANDARA PARK ‘2 PROUD’ (CELESTAL DANCING MIX) IS RELEASED MARCH 29TH 2024 VIA ALL DSPS AND DOWNLOAD SITES VIA VYDIA.
