The song has a conflicted sadness to it but at the same time, we knew we could really make it work with a dance vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tDaybreakers remix of \u201cWarsong\u201d has a real sense of drama,\u201d Smith tells<em> Billboard<\/em>. \u201cThe breakdowns are simple, but far-out, and the vibe is cool, but urgent. It is one of my favorites on the [remix] album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Mixes of a Lost World <\/em>will also feature edits by <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/four-tet\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/four-tet\/\">Four Tet<\/a>, <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/orbital\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/orbital\/\">Orbital<\/a>, Trentem\u00f8ller, <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/chino-moreno\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/chino-moreno\/\">Chino Moreno<\/a>, Paul Oakenfold and more. The project is out June 13 via Fiction\/Capitol Records. In a statement made when the project was announced, Smith said that The Cure \u201chas a colorful history with all kinds of\u00a0dance\u00a0music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cTo be chosen to do a remix is a great honor and we are thrilled with how much Robert likes the remix and we hope others do as well,\u201d Daybreakers add. \u201cBeing included on the remix album alongside such a great variety of talented artists and producers is a huge privilege.
