Jai Paul – Jasmine (EXETER Edit)

Jai Paul has been making all the right noises for quite a while now. His debut, BTSTU, dropped back in April 2011, earning him the new track of the week award from Pitchfork. Whispered falsetto vocals battled with decaying synths for overall aural supremacy. You’ll have to listen to it yourself to determine who came out on top.

He followed it up last month with Jasmine, again earning himself the new track of the week award from Pitchfork and seeing him compared to Prince by the NME. While Jasmine is very good, it’s missing something that BTSTU did not; drive.

That’s where the EXETER edit comes in. Clearly, having had the very same thought I had, EXETER decided to do something about it, adding a metronomic beat and thumping bass. Check it out below.
