Earlier this month, Jay Park released a Hoodboi remix with 88rising of “All I Wanna Do,” a song he released in March of this year. The remix is a different take of the original song, which emphasizes its R&B qualities.
The song begins with mellow R&B vibes, jumping right into the first verse of the song, whereas in the original, the song begins with the hook. This alteration of the structure of the song allows for the remix to leave a stronger impact, as it jumps right into the middle of the action. It also constructs a rushed tempo that continues throughout the song (besides the first chorus). The chorus is remade well in the remix, as the instrumental starts out with slower vibes and only snaps, but then it progresses with an increased tempo and heavier percussion as the chorus is ending. This detail of the chorus is to be appreciated, as there are only snaps in the background along with Jay Park’s vocals, which creates an acapella effect – releasing a clear and crisp sound.
Another small detail I liked from the remix was when Jay Park sings “I don’t care” and in the remix version, there’s an echo of “care” with a high-pitched voice. Despite it being a trivial part of the song, it was enjoyable. One more part of the song that was different from the original that was also catchy was when Jay Park sings, “And if you don’t know me, then you better stay the f*ck out of my section/ Unless you Tinashe.” In the original there is an “Agh!” in the background after this line, but in the remix, it is taken out, and instead, there is a slight distortion of the voice during “unless” and “Tinashe.” These small changes are noticeable and note-worthy as they offer a distinct feel from the original.
Overall, the remix is just as good as a jam to listen to as the original. However, I was disappointed at one point in the remix, where there seemed to be a climax building up, as the instrumental increased in speed and intensified with faster percussion, and there was a sound of a gun being released, but afterwards, the climax was it was trying to attain was rather weak. I expected the instrumental to go even more hardcore, but it didn’t. It might have been better without the intense build-up it created. Instead, there were only clear and consistent percussion sounds that didn’t match up to the climax that had been developing.
The song ends with piano sounds and snaps, a soft R&B melody, a bit similar to the beginning of the song. The melody descends, creating closure for the remix, and then abruptly ends. The remix is shorter than the original song but this does not decrease the quality of the original, but rather gives a different spin to the song.
Both the remix and original are both great songs to jam to this hot summer, especially with the bass turned up, so make sure to give them both a listen.
