New Music: Bruno Mars feat. Pharrell & R. Kelly – ‘Gorilla (remix)’...

As if 'Gorilla' couldn't get any filthier! Bruno Mars has released a remix (aka G-Mix) for his Smeezingtons-produced hit, featuring R. Kelly and Pharrell Williams! Bruno revealed the song via Twitter to his 17 million followers after a Q&A session with fans. Pharrell kicks things off and goes apeshit with his verse, while R. Kelly's animalistic hunger is just as sexually rampant. Exploring a women's "forest" and making her "pussy growl" is on the agenda! His words, not mine...
Unlike remix offenders Mariah Carey and Katy Perry, it's pretty evident that Bruno didn't release this remix to improve the current impact of the song. Even if he had, he left it too little too late. 

Bruno has always wanted to work with R. Kelly and has been covering his songs on his 'Moonshine Jungle' tour. As a result, I think he was just happy to finally collaborate with one of his musical heroes... at least to some capacity anyway. I like the remix. I mean, it's not groundbreaking, but it's still a very solid remix. The original song, which appears on Bruno’s sophomore album 'Unorthodox Jukebox' currently sits at #28 on the Billboard Hot 100.
