1. Adele's "Hello"
Adele's voice is perfect for bounce music. Dare we say we almost prefer this version? "Hello from the 9th Ward"!!
2. John Legend's "Let's Get Lifted Again"
As if we couldn't love John Legend any more than we already do, this funky NOLA remix pushed us right over the edge.
3. Rihanna's "Kiss It Better"
Rihanna can do no wrong and this remix further proves that point. "Kiss It Better" was always a gem, but now that we can dance to it, we've found a new appreciation for the track.
4. Rich Homie Quan's "Flex (Ooh Ooh Ooh)"
Ayyyye! This remix keeps you on your feet! Who doesn't love a good flex? Tell 'em Quan!
5. Lorde's "Royal"
This song was also begging to be remixed by a NOLA DJ. The bounced beat sits on top of the original so nicely.
6. Trey Songz's "Slow Motion"
It's quite difficult to do anything in slow motion while jamming this groove.
7. Tamia's "Stranger in my House"
This song is so conflicting. We don't know if we should be heartbroken or wobbling on the wall!
8. Adele's "Rolling In The Deep"
We had to give Adele another spot in our list because this song has become bounce gold. Could Adele perform this live just one time?
9. Beyonce's "Love On Top"
We couldn't have a bounce list without having Queen Bey on it. This remix is relentless! The modulation will blow your mind.
Don't hurt 'em fam! Enjoy with caution. Let us know your favorite NOLA bounce remixes!
