Hide and Seek off of Imogen Heap's 2005 album Speak for Yourself is an awesome electronic a cappella song rich with harmony and vocoder work. It's such a powerful song where she uses only her voice and harmonizes on a bunch of different tracks with a vocoder. It's like this futuristic yet ancient sounding song, it's very lush and full, gives me chills. So you can imagine my surprise when I hear it bust out on a mainly hip hop station and The Game and Jay-Z start rapping around it! The remix is called What You Say (a line from Hide and Seek). The rapping is way too inferior to match up to the song but I like the idea of using it maybe in some sort of rap remix because the beats around the song made it easy to dance to yet still get the benefit of hearing the beautiful harmony. But it'd have to be done by a pro because the song already stands in perfection alone. The Game does NOT have the talent to pull this off!!
