Tender, haunting and undeniably impressive – enigmatic duo Louise Millar and Michael Macias take on Kanye West‘s 2005 smash-hit “Gold Digger” and reinterpret it with their own seductive, downtempo spin.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the racy tune featuring Jamie Foxx was first released, sweeping us all up in a Kanye-induced dance craze, but a decade later, Twin Duo still manage to find a way to reinvent it. The Sydney-based pair rework Yeezy’s classic radio hit with chilling grace, expertly weaving their way through the song and stripping it down to a gentle and minimalistic rework – ultimately transforming the once raunchy and vigorously executed “Gold Digger” into a heart-wrenching, moody serenade, rich with mellow synths and chilled vibes.

Check it out down below.
