Live Review: LISTEN: The Kooks 'Naive' (Jean Tonique Remix)

23 February 2012 | 6:00 pm | Staff Writer

Remixing old favourites is a hard business. Sadly, they often come up short. Luckily, we have Jean Tonique- who gets it just right.

If you’re anything like me, sometimes finding out that one of your favourite songs has been remixed can be a bit of a shock to the system. The initial feeling of betrayal, the deep scepticism that follows…these are all normal reactions, friends; I promise you are not alone. 

JEAN TONIQUE’s recent remix of THE KOOKS' ‘Naïve’ is one of the shining examples of when someone gets it right. In true Tonique style the remix is super upbeat and funky with a fresh, dancey vibe – amazing considering the original song is coming up to its 6th birthday.

And with the lyrics still fully intact, you even get to sing along – so no complaining!
