It takes someone very confident in their musical abilities to even touch a Stevie Wonder song, whether its to remake it or remix it. Think about it, it's rather unwise to mess with perfection. But for those brave souls who dare to try, if you're gonna do it, you better do it right and do it well, otherwise you've wasted your time and ours. Enter SoulBounce fave and fam Ahmed Sirour with an ambitious take on the Stevie classic "I Wish" that is definitely worth your time and may very well be his most impressive undertaking yet with his "I Wish (Ahmed Sirour's MEGA Mashup Remix)."
Ahmed's tried and true track record of remixes and mashups has had us open for years now, but he's never gone in quite like this before. Yes, he's remixed Stevie Wonder before with his smooth rework of "My Cherie Amour." And in prior mashups he's blended the works of two artists -- Heavy D and Diana Ross & the Supremes, Faith Evans and The Fatback Band, Jeremih and Benji B -- together with winning results. But for this Stevie Wonder concoction he added all kinds of musical flavors into the mix, and by the time he was through he combined the works of 12 artists altogether (including himself) for the mother of all mashups.
Press play on "I Wish (Ahmed Sirour's MEGA Mashup Remix)," and you'll hear Stevie's honeyed vocals atop classic samples from tracks by Jimmy Castor, James Brown, Bob James and even Janet Jackson. This mashup remix is the royal wedding of soul songs with hip-hop appeal, and we're all invited to revel in Ahmed Sirour 's genius in pulling this together. He makes it look easy and sound amazing in the process.
