"Wake Up Call"'s original foot-tapping, head-nodding groove is replaced with an old school rhythm and soul romp, led by horns and keys in a staccato march. The tune's tale of infidelity and resulting violence had a vintage feel to begin with, but Mary J. Blige's vocals add welcome oomphf to Adam Levine's subdued white boy soul.
meh. almost feels like mary j ruins this remix.
I agree. I usually enjoy remixes. Ick.
