Beyoncé Taps Honey Dijon, will.i.am, More for "BREAK MY SOUL" Remix EP
And the Beyoncé house music era continues.
A new remix EP for "BREAK MY SOUL," Bey's breakout dance track, was released this week, featuring a club-ready jungle and bounce rendition by Honey Dijon.
Clocking in at an additional two minutes longer than the original, Dijon's version replaces the song's heady keys with a booming drum programming and pulsing basslines throughout.
Dijon also traded out Big Freedia's break-down-the-door vocal feature and Queen Bey's delicate harmonies for textured rhythmic arrangements and power chords.
