Last month, singer-songwriter Michelle Kash has released her moody, sultry cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” and now, she has released three new dance remixes of the track. Michelle teamed up with Danny Verde, Dirty Disco and Joe Maz for the three new remixes, which can be heard now below.
With a smoky, soulful delivery and a personal style somewhere between Debbie Harry and Old Hollywood pinup, Michelle’s seductive, fiery take on alternative pop is equally evocative and empowering in its confidence and charisma. In between echoes of swelling synths, her voice tows the line between a coy croon and a commanding chant on “Personal Jesus,” painting her as a 21st century temptress.
“When I sing ‘Personal Jesus,’ I have a vision of a sexual savior within myself or that I look for in others,” she explains. “It’s gritty and shadowy like an after-hours party. I hadn’t seen a woman cover the song, which added a different dimension. It paves the way for where I want to go musically”.
