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.

Sheena Rose Drops Hot New Dance Track

Sheena Rose is a queen out of San Francisco who has set out to prove that you don't need to be on Drag Race to be making music. She has released a few songs over the past few years, but she's back in 2013 with her newest track "Make Me Over" -- and it's got like a hundred remixes to go along with it.

Ok, so maybe saying it has a hundred remixes is a stretch, but it does have a lot. Sheena seems to be wanting to please any and every kind of electronic music fan. There are so many remixes for this track that it's had to be split into two separate EPs totaling nearly 20 track. Let's just say Ms. Rose isn't messing around.

Among these mixes are some pretty big names, which really had me a bit surprised. When you've got a name like Nina Flowers, fan favorite from season one of RuPaul's Drag Race and contestant on RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race, you know things are serious. Other big names like Subgroover and Naked Highway make several appearances across the two releases as well.

As for the song itself (the original being the LFB Radio edit), I was a bit worried at first. The song has a shaking beginning, sounding a bit out of sync with it's backtrack. I am unsure if this is just the edit or not. However, it quickly recovers, turning into a very fun and upbeat track. The vocals themselves may not be the best, but it's obvious she is having fun with the song, and in the end that is what shines through and makes this track so addicting.

And with 17 remixes, you'll never run out of ways to keep this song sounding fresh and new!

The EPs are on iTunes here and here.
