Keshi “Goes to Waste”

I’ve never been a big fan of Coldplay’s “Fix You” but I love what Keshi does with bits of it in this composition. A few fragments of Chris Martin’s vocal are chopped and screwed, and presented as a context for Keshi’s own vocal performance, which is rather feminine and delicate. The “Fix You” quotes are basically a jumping off point for a meditation on a dying relationship, but the airy, elliptical quality of the track evades the maudlin melodrama of Coldplay’s original. Also, crucially, whereas Chris Martin sings “Fix You” like someone still convinced he can make things right, Keshi doesn’t seem even slightly optimistic.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
