As we mentioned in Monday's mailout, the Shakira & Beyonce (vogueing, right) duet is one of those 'less than the sum of its parts' collaborations which makes you wonder why anyone involved at any stage of the process (except the video which is quite good) didn't just stay at home and have a wank instead of getting involved in one of the most tedious 'n' snoozesome 'meeting of minds' since, er, the current UK Number One.
HOWEVER!
There is a Freemasons remix of the track which is actually brilliant. You can hear it here.
It sits very well alongside The Freemasons' 'Ring The Alarm' mix (here), the Chic-fuelled Luther 'Shine' remix (here) and the 'Deja Vu' reswizzle (here). We listened to the Freemasons album quite a lot before Christmas, too — it's a double CD with their own tracks jumbled up with some of their remixes and is therefore A Quite Good Idea.
