	Cutting back on a track in the mix isn’t always the way to get the job done -- a lot of times, less is just less. But if the jam in question is all about stripping down anyway, then why not? Hear this philosophy at work on this crackling remix of the first single from Monifah’s latest album, which gets a coat of paint or two removed with an assist from Murphy Lee of St. Lunatics. Knocking things down to little more than beats, blips and heavy breathing works if you can deliver the sex like Mo’ -- a point that’s been pretty well established by now. It also makes you think a little more of this rougher-edged, street-friendly approach wouldn’t go amiss in the rest of her work, often buffed to a spit-shine by big names like Teddy Riley et al. A nice -- and more importantly, worthy -- companion piece to the original.
