He is an artist with enormous amounts of charisma, and when we met in a photo shoot that took place before the stricter restrictions were announced, I was in awe. I felt very similar again when I unexpectedly received the new remix in my Facebook messenger&#8217;s inbox. In my original version, \u201cPar P\u0113d\u0113jo Lapu\u201d sounds quite painful and even melodramatic. However, Normunds had combined my voice with completely different \u2013 very positive and even playful\u00a0\u2013 moods,\u201d reveals Katrina Gupalo.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Par pede\u0304jo lapu - N&#039;Works Remix | Katri\u0304na Gupalo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kWCZwxXpwRk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>N\u2019Works aka Normunds Rutulis: \u201cIt is always nice when the first draft of the remix instantly makes your body move and your soul fly.

I really hope that dance music lovers will like it as much as we do.
