Tame Impala & JENNIE, Dracula – JENNIE Remix | Song Review

Tame Impala and JENNIE bring down the house with the infectious and irresistible “Dracula – JENNIE Remix,” a remix of Tame Impala’s 2025 top 40 pop hit.  

Woo! Psychedelic rock project Tame Impala dropped one hell of a banger with “Dracula” in 2025.  By my estimation, Kevin Parker, the brainchild of Tame Impala, dropped one of the best songs of the year.  What could make a banger bang even harder? A remix, of course.  Tame Impala taps JENNIE for the “Dracula – JENNIE Remix”, and it’s sweet! Parker penned “Dracula – JENNIE Remix” with JENNIE, Sarah Aarons, and Carly Gibert.  Parker produced it. 

“Dracula – JENNIE Remix” maintains the original selling points.  The production STILL kicks ass and takes names.  The groove takes the cake as the best instrumental moment from the accompaniment.  The keys, synths, and programming are all on point, too! During the intro, Kevin Parker and JENNIE both sing, setting the tone for the vampirical experience! Kevin Parker draws first blood in the first verse, like the original.  The contrast comes with JENNIE, who sings the second half of the first verse. She complements Parker superbly (“The shadows, yeah, they keep me pretty like a movie star…”). Parker performs the refrain, with a few ad-libs from JENNIE.  Parker, once more, takes the lead in the second verse, impressing with his “Now I’m Mr. Charisma, fuckin’ Pablo Escobar” lyric. JENNIE performs the third line, while both conclude the verse (“I just wanna be right where you are”). Kevin and JENNIE perform the second refrain and chorus, where they run from the sunlight, Dracula. JENNIE gets her biggest solo moment performing the third verse, which is new. Here, according to JENNIE, is “Lip-stain on the rim, bass is ‘bout to blow / Sinking in my teeth, I buy time.” Gah-day-um! Kevin performs most of the bridge himself before they rejoin forces in the final refrain and chorus, with select moments where they sing separately.  All told, “Dracula – JENNIE Remix” is as fun, if not more fun, than the original.
