Raw voltage surges through Emily Makis‘ take on “Freak Like Me”, reimagining Adina Howard’s R&B classic (later immortalised by Sugababes) as a drum and bass detonation that threatens to shake the foundations of any sound system it encounters.
Her voice commands the chaos with remarkable authority, riding the lightning-quick breaks with a confidence that transforms the familiar melodies into something thrillingly dangerous.
The production from Deadline serves as a masterclass in contemporary jungle architecture, where every snare hit and bass wobble feels precision-engineered to cause maximum dancefloor devastation. Yet amidst the furious tempo and thunderous low end, Makis finds moments of playful sensuality in the vocal delivery, proving that even at 174 BPM, soul can still shine through the storm.
