Following on from similar releases such as 'Soul Survivor Worship Remix' from 2011, 'Love Takes Over: The Remixes' takes songs from 2015's 'Love Takes Over' album and presents them very differently with the presumed aim of attracting a new audience. Does it work? In part yes, the songs now only recognizable by the vocals, would sit on youth radio easily. Certainly, songs such as "The Way" and "Burn Bright" retain their beauty and power, but I suspect the appeal will be limited and the original album will be returned to once the novelty has worn off.
