No New Elvis Remix

May 14, 2009 | Other

Recently Essential Elvis posted an entry on their blog that a new Elvis remix was in the works.

From the Blog:

Cherry Lane Music Publishing has signed Allan Pineda Lindo, (also known as Apl.de.Ap., a founding member of the Black Eyed Peas) to a long-term, worldwide publishing agreement. Cherry Lane has represented the publishing of The Black Eyed Peas since 2003.

"It is wonderful and very natural for us to deepen our relationship with Apl," said Cherry Lande, senior VP of creative services and marketing. "In addition to his solo work, we have him working on outside projects such as an Elvis Presley remix." Lindo, who is also a record producer, said, "I am looking forward to working with Cherry Lane and expanding upon my producing and solo career. It has been a privilege to work on the Elvis remix - such a legendary and inspiring artist."

This was updated today:

Just got this in from EE:UK reporter Brian Quinn regarding the possible new Elvis remix single :

Just to inform you that the the Allan Pineda LINDO Remix is not going to happen. Apparently the track was done without approval from Sony and when they did hear it they did not like it. It would seem they have asked Lindo to go back into the Studio to alter the remix. This is the current state of play.

Brian's follw-up makes no sense - full of contradictions. He says it won't ever happen yet then says Sony have asked for the remix to be remade! Also, why would they ask it to be remade if it was done without their approvial anyway?

Let's hope it stays in the bin where it belongs.
