Smooth criminal michael jackson amapiano remix

What an interesting request!

While there isn't an official "Amapiano remix" of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", I can try to create a hypothetical remix for you.

Amapiano is a genre of music that originated in South Africa, characterized by its use of deep basslines, jazzy chord progressions, and soulful melodies. To create a hypothetical Amapiano remix of "Smooth Criminal", I'd aim to blend the original song's iconic elements with Amapiano's signature sound.

Here's a possible remix:

Title: Smooth Criminal (Amapiano Remix)

Structure:

1. Intro: A slow-burning Amapiano intro with a filtered bassline and atmospheric pads, setting the mood for the remix.
2. Verse 1: The original vocals from Michael Jackson are kept, but with a subtle Amapiano-inspired reverb and delay effect to give it a more modern, atmospheric feel.
3. Chorus: The chorus is where the Amapiano elements come in. A deep, pulsing bassline takes center stage, accompanied by jazzy piano chords and a catchy, syncopated drum pattern.
4. Verse 2: The second verse sees the introduction of a haunting, atmospheric synth line, reminiscent of Amapiano's use of ambient textures.
5. Chorus: The chorus returns, with the addition of a soaring, filtered vocal hook and a driving, percussive rhythm.
6. Bridge: A breakdown section featuring a minimalist, atmospheric arrangement, with a focus on the bassline and atmospheric pads.
7. Outro: The remix concludes with a reprise of the intro, fading out with a sense of tension and anticipation.

Sound design:

• Bassline: A deep, pulsing bassline with a mix of sine waves and filtered sawtooth waves, reminiscent of Amapiano's signature bass sound.
• Drums: A combination of sampled and programmed drums, with a focus on the snare and hi-hats to create a driving, percussive rhythm.
• Pianos: A mix of grand piano and electric piano sounds, with a focus on jazzy chord progressions and arpeggios.
• Synths: A range of atmospheric and ambient synth sounds, including filtered sawtooth waves, sine waves, and FM synthesis.
• Vocals: The original vocals from Michael Jackson are kept, but with subtle processing to give them a more modern, atmospheric feel.

Mixing and mastering:

• The mix would focus on creating a balanced, dynamic sound with a strong emphasis on the bassline and drums.
• The mastering would aim to create a loud, punchy sound with a focus on the low-end and mid-range frequencies.

This is just one possible interpretation of an Amapiano remix of "Smooth Criminal". I hope you enjoyed this hypothetical remix, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to see in a real Amapiano remix of this iconic song!
