Download Paper Diamond vs The Weeknd
"Pretty Lights Music's electronic
genre-bender Paper Diamond takes hipster R&B
guru The Weeknd's "Same Old Song" and morphs it
into a dreamy but still party-friendly dance track. When you put Abel
Tesfaye's silky smooth vocals on any track it's pure gold, but Paper
Diamond speeds it up and adds some talking bass. The percussion is perfectly
cut and arranged and the modest drop into the chorus blends easy". - Earmilk
"He took ‘Same Old Song’, the mellowed out down
tempo track and pumped it full of his feel good electronic energy. He’s got
that funky Colorado sound that really gets across in every track. Turn it
up, enjoy!" - This Song is Sick
"Paper Diamond's evocative and incredibly moving
remix of The Weeknd's fresh new soulful RnB hit "Same Old Song",
this track is an easily accessible, instantly recognizable, outright
dance-anthem.
The already incredible vocals of The Weeknd are
perfectly highlighted by Paper Diamond's immaculate production technique,
and we can certainly assure you that this remix is ANYTHING BUT the
"Same Old Song". - Dubstep.net

Following this fall's single release of "Can
We Go Up," the tune that got stuck in everyone's head and
dominated the Hype Machine Charts at #1, Paper
Diamond (Pretty Lights Music / Elm & Oak) is kicking off
2012 with some new tunes both original and remixes as he takes his
celebrated live show on the road.
Besides dropping his fresh remix of The Weeknd, his
latest offering is in anticipation of his forthcoming EP Paragon,
and it sure is a sweet morsel. With a foundation of that gritty
bassline that we love so much, "Better Things" is
a hip-hop tempo banger, with glitchy rhythms and buildups that crash down
into melodic bleeps and bloops. It's a fun listen that is simultaneously
unexpectedly poignant, somehow employing those beats to call forth an
emotion that you'd completely forgotten you could experience. Paper
Diamond is in the process of the putting the final touches on Paragon,
due for release in 2012, so stay tuned!
