🎛️ Beyoncé x Honey Dijon - Alien Superstar (Random J Mashup)

The Winamp classic player with a pink colour scheme. Currently playing the Random J Mashup of Beyoncé’s “Alien Superstar” and Honey Dijon’s “Not About You” — the cover art of which is displayed on the right-hand side.

“Alien Superstar”. The song which had everybody screaming ‘UNIQUE’. The song that the Internet unanimously decided was the best song on the album. Me, however. I wasn’t a fan. And I actually only began to really like the song as a result of my own mashups of it. This [Points down below] being one of them.

For as much as I wasn’t fawning over “Alien Superstar” initially, I got why everybody else was going crazy for it. It’s catchy. It’s gay as hell. One of the things I find when doing mashups is that I develop a greater appreciation of the songs I’m working with. Hearing things isolated and picking things apart — you find all sorts of details which change how you listen to the original versions.

Honey Dijon is the artist of the song “Alien Superstar” has been mashed with. But she is also one of the co-writers and producers of “Alien Superstar”. As with most of my mashups, the idea just came to me, void of any thread or context. Then after the fact, I’m like ‘OH’.
