Listen to Rich Fayden’s Ominous Rework of Bobby Brown’s “Don’t Be Cruel”

Rich Fayden has been known as a singer-songwriter who can bridge together modern sounds with retro influences, creating songs that resonate with generations of music fans. And his production style is no different.  Fayden recognizes that the biggest producers in the world have found success by reimagining classics, so he dug through the crates and selected an old-school groove to work his magic.

Fayden has now reworked the R&B classic, producing dark, ominous soundscapes that reimagine it for today’s dancefloors. “Sticking to what works while not getting in the way of the outcome is often t...

It always feels like a trip when I’m speaking with my inner self, then flash—back to reality like I’m coming down off medication.” “For us, ‘Mir...
