Kawaii Metal Meets Modern Metal Madness
If your Friday wasn’t already weird enough, fear not, because BABYMETAL have returned with another dose of beautifully chaotic madness.
The Japanese metal phenomenon has just released โfrom me to u (Jordan Fish Remix)โ, giving one of their most exciting recent tracks a fresh makeover courtesy of former Bring Me The Horizon mastermind Jordan Fish.
And honestly?
It’s exactly as bonkers as you’d expect.
Combining BABYMETAL’s trademark blend of infectious melodies, crushing riffs, electronic wizardry and outright unpredictability, the remix cranks the futuristic vibes even further into overdrive. If the original version felt like a collision between a metal festival and a cyberpunk anime convention, this remix feels like the afterparty after somebody accidentally spilled an energy drink into the mainframe.
Not that we’re complaining.
๐ธ Jordan Fish Brings The Future
For anyone living under a rock larger than Download Festival’s Dogtooth Stage, Jordan Fish helped transform Bring Me The Horizon into one of the most innovative bands in modern heavy music.
His fingerprints are all over some of the biggest alternative records of the last decade, blending electronic production, huge hooks and massive modern metal soundscapes.
That makes him the perfect person to take BABYMETAL’s already genre-defying sound and push it even further.
The remix amplifies the electronic elements while keeping the track’s huge chorus intact. Synths pulse through the mix, beats hit harder, and the whole thing feels tailor-made for giant festival stages packed with fans losing their minds.
๐ฆ BABYMETAL Continue To Ignore Genre Rules
One of the reasons BABYMETAL have become such a global phenomenon is their complete refusal to play by anybody else’s rules.
Since bursting onto the scene, they’ve blended heavy metal, J-pop, EDM, arena rock, progressive metal and enough strange ideas to keep music journalists employed for years.
Every time people think they’ve figured BABYMETAL out, they go and release something completely unexpected.
That’s exactly why fans love them.
While plenty of bands stick to a formula, BABYMETAL seem determined to treat music like a giant science experiment where every button should be pressed at least twice.
๐ฅ The Original Track Was Already A Monster
The original version of “from me to u”, featuring the ever-unpredictable Poppy, was already one of the most talked-about collaborations in modern alternative music.
The pairing felt surprisingly natural.
Poppy’s ability to jump effortlessly between pop, metal and complete musical chaos made her a perfect partner for BABYMETAL’s genre-smashing approach.
Together they created a track that felt fresh, exciting and unlike almost anything else currently dominating playlists.
Now Jordan Fish has taken that foundation and rebuilt it into something even bigger.
๐ค Festival Season Soundtrack?
With festival season kicking into full gear across the UK and Europe, don’t be surprised if this remix starts appearing everywhere.
The track has all the ingredients needed to become a massive live favourite:
- Huge hooks
- Massive electronic drops
- Crushing riffs
- Singalong moments
- Enough energy to power Cardiff for a week
Whether you’re heading to Download, Bloodstock, Steelhouse, Radar Festival or any of the countless rock and metal gatherings happening this summer, there’s a good chance you’ll hear this blasting out somewhere between bands.
๐ค The Riff Report Verdict
BABYMETAL continue to prove that they are one of the most fearless bands on the planet.
While other artists spend years trying to fit neatly into a genre, BABYMETAL seem determined to destroy the concept entirely.
“from me to u (Jordan Fish Remix)” is loud, futuristic, addictive and wonderfully over-the-top. It’s another reminder that metal’s future doesn’t have to look like its past.
Sometimes it looks like three Japanese metal icons, a former Bring Me The Horizon producer, a mountain of synths and complete musical chaos.
And honestly?
We’re absolutely here for it.
๐ฅ Riff Report Rating: 8.5/10
Kawaii chaos. Massive hooks. Electronic madness. The Fox God approves.
