1984’s ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ – the first and only Hot 100 #1 hit by Queen of Rock N Roll Tina Turner – is easily classified as her most iconic solo hit.
Yet, while remakes and remixes of musical treasures of its magnitude are often frowned upon, Norwegian producer Kygo – who recently thrilled fans with his updated take on late Pop icon Whitney Houston‘s ‘Higher Love’ – earned Turner’s stamp of approval when he revamped her timeless tune.
Released July 17, the sonic facelift keeps the diva’s vocals front and center but changes the vibe entirely by turning the R&B-tinged number into an island-inspired dance track.
Hear it inside and weigh in:
Having peaked at #63 on the Hot 100 with the Houston remix, the Turner tune could see Kygo reach even higher heights.
To much screaming 🙄🙄her voice doesn’t fit EDM
Awnn i love this remix!
Kygo is on fire…Whitney in 2019, Tina in 2020, I’m hoping he can remix Diana Ross in 2021 🤩
And Donna summer is next. Plz bring back the disco Queen
Nah. I’ll stick with the original.
I’m here for this. Kygo is such a zaddy
I tried it and they did too
The MAGIC of the original is it’s slow pace, atmosphere and perfect EVERYTHING…the remix kind of takes some of that away…I’ll play this from time to time…but the original gets played FOREVER 😂 💯 And don’t get me started on the video lol…this song has many meanings to me so they can keep the storyline that I will NEVER think about 🤣 Love Tina! 🤳🏽❤️
the party like it, infact we love it…shout out to kygo…
now with timberland remixing whitney houston i wanna dance we feel like he could did a lil better…
You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it’s only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It’s physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that ooo
What’s love got to do, got to do with it
What’s love but a second hand emotion
What’s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
It may seem to you that I’m acting confused
When you’re close to me
If I tend to look dazed I’ve read it someplace
I’ve got cause to be
There’s a name for it
There’s a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me ooo
What’s love got to do, got to do with it
What’s love but a second hand emotion
What’s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be…
