Sheena Rose Has Got Dirty Cash (And A Lot Of It)

Sheena Rose is a drag performer out of San Francisco that I've had the pleasure of encountering form time to time. Not only is she a wonderful soul, but she's also delved into the realm of music. Her latest single, "Dirty Cash" released last spring, but that doesn't mean things are said and done. In true Sheena Rose fashion she's got a remix, or two... or sixteen. Actually there are so many she released a full album of it. Check it out.
 

I have to say this is probably my favorite track from Sheena to date. The song plays around with the cliche that money can buy you anything. "Money talks" as they say, and she definitely went with it. The original track features an awesome saxophone line that would rival "Edge of Glory" by Gaga -- I'd say it also rivals "In The Dark" by Dev's Sax line, too, but I don't think anyone would get the reference. Now she's compiled a list of ten artists to do sixteen remixes for this track. That's right. Sixteen.

There is a lot of fun stuff going on with this release. We see a lot of familiar faces to the drag remix scene, such as Naked Highway (who have just worked with Willam Belli) and Jared Jones (who works with Manila Luzon regularly). There are also a few names in which it is my first experience hearing from them, but don't let that turn you off. Mixes like the one from Edwin Reyes really sold me on the whole project. That's definitely a name I'll keep an eye out for in the future.

That's what I really like about remixes. It can take a song that has been out for a while, and may be off your iTunes playlist rotation, and give it new life. It can either sound like a bouncier version of the song you already know and love, or it can be chopped up and crafted into something almost completely unrecognizable. Luckily for everyone, both types of mixes exist on this collection.

You can check out "Dirty Cash The Remixes" on iTunes. Preview them all and pick your faves or just buy the whole thing.
