Review title: Ah, that classic meeting of old Shanghai and... Brooklyn
Product review: So, take 1 part Chinese instrumental music from the 1920s-1950s, add some "Beats" and digital editing... okay, I'm with you so far... and then have black women sing over it in English, all R&B; diva like, u kno wat I'm sayin', mmm-hmm... uh, what?I understand the remixing and mash-ups projects of late. Some of the Verve Remixed stuff was good. The Shanghai Divas Remixed project tried to put the same concept to Chinese classics of the 1940s and '50s, but with pretty mediocre results. The execution was rather amateur.But this is just an atrocity. It doesn't go together at all. Yes, you can put tomatoes, strawberry ice cream, and curry in the blender and come up with a smooth new concoction... but that doesn't mean it'll taste good. This is atrocious and I find it totally condescending to the source material.
