Flashback Friday: Sam Flanagan – “Water Lily (Lily Allen vs Stone Roses)

Mashed-up indeed

This little jam came out in 2006, so I’m going to go ahead and declare it worthy enough for Flashback Friday status. What is that in blogger years, like 20? Mashups are on the way out, but this is so delicately done that it hardly even counts. Sam Flanagan, known for his brilliant mixes, takes Lily Allen’s bird-like voice and sets it down against the Madchester kings Stone Roses. The result is one of those rare products that sound like it should have been the original song itself.

On such a warm, sleepy Friday afternoon what could be better? It’s a nice primer for a night out or winding down for a quiet evening inside. Give it at least 36 seconds, where it really kicks in to something memorable.
