Beat of the Week: Of Monsters and Men – King and Lionheart (Dzeko & Torres Remix)

Beat of the Week: Of Monsters and Men - King and Lionheart (Dzeko & Torres Remix)
This week’s installment is a Dzeko & Torres revamp of the song “King and Lionheart” by the Icelandic indie folk group Of Monsters and Men.

It’s just as catchy, heartfelt and powerful as the original, but in a way that deserves to be pumped through a car stereo on a spring afternoon. The charming vocals are put to excellent use without any unnecessary vocal chopping or distorting effects.Crazy enough, the song feels right at home with a house beat behind it. It’s not too crowded. It’s (thankfully) lacking a dubstep breakdown or an obnoxious siren. The song builds and drops with ease, and everything feels natural and intended. Even if you’re not a fan of this band yet, this track is definitely worth checking out.
