Kygo has sprinkled some of his remix magic on a 1984 Tina Turner classic, ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It.’

In a statement, Kygo shares, “I couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with Tina Turner, who is an icon that I grew up listening to.  ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ is one of my all-time favorite songs so to have a chance to rework it has been a very special moment in my career. I love working around timeless vocals and although it’s challenging to preserve elements of the original track and adding my own touch, I’m extremely happy with how it turned out!”

There’s also a music video – directed by Sarah Bahbah and stars Laura Harrier and Charles Michael Davis who play star-crossed lovers.  Watch above.

 

 

 

And this isn’t the first time Kygo has taken a classic and added his own spin to it – last year, he released a remix of Whitney Houston’s ‘Higher Love’ and in 2013, a remix of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing.’  Listen below.
