When a producer comes out of the woodwork to remix an already classic mix, you know the result is going to end up either irresistible, or disastrous (with the latter often being the case). I mean, in the same way that you'd expect someone to shut up when they're without wise words to speak, you'd expect someone to leave an effort as magnificent as Tajan and Fwdslxsh's "Beautiful" alone, preserved in all of its sonic splendor, without the tarnishing of another's audacious touch. The 18-year-old Parisian producer, NoMaad, didn't seem to mind the risks inherent to his adjusting the aforementioned track, though; and as we hear with own edits, he had no reason to. The remixed effort of NoMaad's adds enough to the "original" to make it stand on its own merits, but doesn't stray too far from the roots of the Tajan and Fwdslxsh collaboration, smartly. There are elongated synths and screwed JT vocals imbedded into the introduction of the track, and some absolutely kicking bass and percussion work themselves into the instrumental as well. The bass bursts forth with blaring low-end at about the one-minute mark, for better or for worse, and several short seconds after that, the effort turns into NoMaad's own; starry synths provide colorful sonic scenery for Timberlake's chants, and from that point, an electronically experimental flavoring is employed to round out the impressive track.
