Mashed POP-tato #4

It's that time again, it's mashup time with another slice of wonderful spliced pop magic. This week we feature a mashup of two of the biggest female artists of the last 10 years. With combined worldwide album sales of an estimated 70 million and 6 US number ones between them I am of course talking about Adele and Lady Gaga - strange bedfellows indeed!

In particular we're talking a masahup of Adele's megahit 'Rolling in the Deep', number one in a million countries, and 'Judas' by Lady Gaga. This for me is the essence of a great mashup, taking two very distinct artists and combining them to amazing effect - I echo what I've said before, it shouldn't work but it really does!

This mashup uses the vocal from one of Adele's more upbeat moments, isolating her soulful vocal and the gospel-style backing and combining it with the industrial thumps and synths of Gaga's biblical-themed epic. The combination is pure pop bliss, the stuttering beats fit perfectly with Adele's fiery delivery and the slight drop before the chorus allows the instrumental sledgehammer to follow have even more power. So, pin back your lug-holes and prepare to be aurally assaulted by the actual genius of mashup!

Bet you never thought you'd hear Adele like that!
