Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” is an effortlessly breezy pop-funk number, tailor made to rule the airwaves and soundtrack summer barbecues. In his new redirection of the track, San Francisco DJ King Most injects a more organic, funky feel into the track, adding airy major-seventh keyboard chords and a drum sample from the accomplished drummer and great pop songwriter/producer Narada Michael Walden (who wrote “How Will I Know?” for Whitney Houston and “Heartbreaker” for Mariah Carey). The redirection removes much of the synthetic sounds and artificiality of the original track, unmooring the track from modern pop sounds and recreating the feel of classic albums like Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall and Whitney Houston’s debut.

“We’re grown enough to finally acknowledge the awesomeness of pop,” explains King Most. “When it’s good, it’s timeless, but when it’s super corny, it deserves all the hate it can get. I wanted to make sure that we’ll still like one of the contenders of “Song of the Summer” by Labor Day via a little help from the famed pop music god and songwriter Narada Michael Walden, the always important sample, and some keyboard work too.”
