Beyonce Mashups!

2007 was the year of the "Umbrella" mashups, 2008 was the year of the "I Kissed A Girl" mashups. Will 2009 be the year of Beyonce mashups? Perhaps, two new mash-ups of the lead singles from B's I Am... Sasha Feirce have surfaced in the last few weeks, with different results.

"If I Were A Free Fallin' Boy" is DJ Earworm joint, a mashup with Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" and it works very well. The guitars are spicier than the original mix, and the vocals are not obscured or screwed with. It's worth a listen, or download it at Stereogum.


The Hood Internet's "Single Foxes (Put A Wood On It)" is less succesful, mashing a Fleet Foxes track with the current number one single. It works in parts, the frenetic guitar work matches the pace of Beyonce's lyrics but sometimes the sync isn't quite perfect. Still, worth a listen, or download at The Hood Internet.
