Tracy Champman's "Fast Car" gets a dance cover 28 years later

A song written by four-time Grammy award-winning folk singer and songwriter Tracy Chapman has made its way back on the music charts. "Fast Car" was a 1988 hit, and you can still hear it occasionally played on the radio. Newcomer British producer and DJ Jonas Blue has created a mellow dance version of the hit and enlisted singer Dakota whose voice fits perfect with the melody.

This song is pretty much perfect for any lounging event with its calm tropical beat and soothing vocals. I can easily see this song being played into the summer and listened to while many relax by the pool or on the beach. Take a listen below. If you like, you can now purchase Jonas Blue's version of "Fast Car" now on iTunes. I've also posted Tracy Chapman's original version, just in case you need a refresher on what it sounds like, and well because it's pretty awesome too!
