Sally Shapiro - Rent (Extended Mix) [Pet Shop Boys Cover]

“Sally Shapiro’s cover of this Pet Shop Boys classic keeps the original close to the heart. Emphasizing the baroque leanings of the chord progression, they take it further with a 8th note melody careening over icy pads. The result is a Synthwave skyline scraping the upper atmosphere in the never-ending race to survive the first of the month. It’s a twisted tale of the politics of economy in relationships where the currency is love. Sally’s crystalline coo glides over Johan’s elegant Italo production as the bass line anchors the galloping rhythm section. Home is where the heart shelter comes first in this game of love.“ Johnny Jewel Written by Chris Lowe/Neil Tennant. Vocals by Sally Shapiro. Produced by Johan Agebjörn, mixed by Johan Agebjörn & Johnny Jewel. Mastered by Tom Waltz. Thanks to Mikael Ögren for programming the JD-800 Schulze pad. Thanks to Chris &am
