This is one of those remixes which should be treated as a completely different song without trying to compare it with the original song. The two are just so different that it makes no sense.

Shlohmo has turned the original ballad of the rising soul diva Lianne La Havas into something much darker, electronic and 8-bit. I always knew that Shlohmo was a genius, but now I am completely reassured. Even though the sound is completely different the feel of the song is the same and I am amazed that he managed to maintain it.

If you are interested in folk/soul music, Lianne La Havas is an interesting artist to check out: she toured with Bon Iver last year, released two albums and is generally doing a great job.

I suggest you first listen to the original here proceeding to this remix.
