ReImagined At Home: HAUSER's Instrumental Version of Jennifer Lopez's "Let's Get Loud" Is A Glammed-Up Dance Party

HAUSER shows off his cello's flashy side with an amped-up orchestral rendition of "Let's Get Loud," Jennifer Lopez's GRAMMY-nominated dance hit from 1999.

GRAMMYs/Aug 23, 2022 - 05:00 pm

Superstar cellist HAUSER proves that you don't need a vocal line to get the party started with his rendition of "Let's Get Loud," Jennifer Lopez's dance-floor banger from her 1999 debut studio album, On the 6.

In this episode of ReImagined at Home, HAUSER covers "Let's Get Loud" in a performance that is as opulent, fiery and festive as the song itself. Set in a grand ballroom decked out with ornately trimmed windows and floor-to-ceiling red and gold drapes, the cellist leads his orchestra in an all-instrumental dance party. 

Each instrument gets their moment to be virtuosic, with HAUSER playfully riffing with the first-chair cellist and pumping up the percussionist during a drum solo. Of course, the star of the show is HAUSER's cello, which takes on Lopez's vocal line and interjects plenty of riffs and trills throughout the performance.

HAUSER is including a studio version of "Let's Get Loud" on his upcoming new album, a Latin dance project called The Player, which is due September 16 via Sony Music Masterworks. According to a press release, the album will feature accompaniment from the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and include a selection of classic songs and modern-day hits, all ReImagined with the artist's signature style.

With "Let's Get Loud," HAUSER was aiming for imaginative reinvention while still remaining true to the spirit of Lopez's  original version. "This song is so full of spirit — that quintessential Latin passion," he explains in the release. "We incorporated many classical elements you won't find in the original version, but it still has the energy of all the musicians rocking out and having a great time together."

Press play on the video above to watch HAUSER's revamped and playful version of a J.Lo classic, and keep checking back to GRAMMY.com for more episodes of ReImagined at Home.

ReImagined: Watch Dylan Chambers Channel Bruno Mars In This Groovy Cover Of "Uptown Funk"

Pop-soul newcomer Dylan Chambers offers his rendition of "Uptown Funk," Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' infectious 2014 hit.

GRAMMYs/Apr 16, 2024 - 05:03 pm

In the latest episode of ReImagined, soul-pop newcomer Dylan Chambers delivers a fresh, heartfelt take on "Uptown Funk", using an electric guitar to drive the performance.

In the year of its inception, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" quickly made strides across the map, from a No. 1 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 to a Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance win at the 2014 GRAMMYs. Ten years after its release, it is the ninth most-viewed YouTube video of all-time and was named one of Billboard's "Songs That Defined The Decade."

Chambers named Mars as one of his most influential inspirations and praised Silk Sonic's Las Vegas residency as one of the "greatest concerts" he has attended in an interview with Muzic Notez.

"Don't believe me, just watch," Chambers calls in the chorus, recreating its notable doo-wop ad-libs with the strums of his instrument.

Chambers dropped his latest single, "I Can Never Get Enough" on April 10, following his March release "High (When I'm Low)." Both tracks will be a part of his upcoming EP, For Your Listening Pleasure!, out May 17.

ReImagined: Watch WanMor Deliver A Melodic Cover Of Silk Sonic's "Leave The Door Open"

Sibling quartet WanMor perform a soulful rendition of "Leave the Door Open," the track that helped Silk Sonic make a "clean sweep" at the 2022 GRAMMYs.

GRAMMYs/Apr 2, 2024 - 05:01 pm

In 2022, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak had a memorable GRAMMYs night together as Silk Sonic. As .Paak declared on stage, they made a "clean sweep," winning every category in which they were nominated: Best R&B Song, Best R&B Performance, Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. And it was all thanks to their smash "Leave the Door Open."

In this episode of ReImagined, R&B newcomers WanMor perform a smooth cover of the iconic track. Against a lush greenery backdrop, the foursome each take turns at the mic and come together for some silky harmonies.

"I'ma leave the door open girl/ That you feel that I feel/ And you want me like I want you tonight, baby/ Tell me that you're coming through," they croon with the same swagger Silk Sonic possessed in the 2021 single.

WanMor consists of the four sons of Boyz II Men's Wanyá Morris, with their moniker paying homage to their father's first and last names. Individually, they go by the stage names Big Boy, Chulo, Tyvas, and Rocco.

On March 29, the sibling quartet released their latest project, Alone With You — which also featured their previous singles "BABY" and "Please Don't Go" — via Beautiful Life Productions, Mary J. Blige's 300 Entertainment imprint.

ReImagined: LØLØ Flips Green Day's "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" Into An Acoustic Jam

Canadian pop-punk singer LØLØ offers a stripped-down rendition of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," the GRAMMY-winning smash from her childhood inspirations, Green Day.

GRAMMYs/Mar 19, 2024 - 05:00 pm

Almost exactly two decades ago, Green Day traced the story of a lonely teenager, Jesus of Suburbia, in their seventh album, American Idiot. Its most notable chapter, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," earned the band Record Of The Year at the 2006 GRAMMYs.

In this episode of ReImagined, Canadian pop-punk singer LØLØ delivers her take on the song, an ethereal acoustic version.

LØLØ is a longtime fan of Green Day. In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, she recalled their single "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" as the first song she learned to play. She later told idobi Radio that her 2023 track "omg" was "a bunch of intrusive thoughts jumbled into a song, wondering if I will ever be enough, or ever be as cool as Green Day."

This year, LØLØ released two original singles, "poser" and "2 of us," via Hopeless Records.
