HyenaXXL ft: Ne-Yo - MR.XXL (Remix) (Single)
New Jersey-born alternative R&B artist HyenaXXL is back with a dynamic new take on his latest single, “MR.XXL (Remix),” featuring none other than Ne-Yo. With a fusion of infectious energy, deep storytelling, and a modern pop twist, this remix breathes new life into an already captivating track.
HyenaXXL has built his reputation on narrative-driven music, inspired by legends like Prince and Rick James. His signature sound—a compelling blend of lust, love, and melancholy—transforms every track into an evocative journey. For “MR.XXL (Remix),” he sought to elevate the song beyond its original ’80s-inspired performance style, bringing in Grammy-nominated producer Riley Urick to craft a more modern, high-energy sound.
"We wanted something better than the original, and Riley told me I’d forget the first version entirely. His work is amazing. This remix amps up both the instrumental and the vocals, making it feel fresh, vibrant, and completely in tune with today’s listeners." — HyenaXXL
At its core, “MR.XXL (Remix)” acts as a story that transports listeners to “Erotic City”, a place where two people discover the freedom to express their love without restraint. This remix expands on the themes of self-discovery and passion woven throughout HyenaXXL’s self-titled album, painting a vivid picture of romance unbound by the outside world.
