The song itself has seen several revitalization’s in recent years, including a placement in Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 film, Death Proof, along with a complete makeover by The Weeknd for his track, Montreal, from his 2011 mixtape, Echoes Of Silence.  As for Irina Rimes, the release offers fans another strong statement from the singer’s catalog as she continues to grow her platform and global reach.  The Moldavian singer has already had an incredible career, achieving multiple number one singles, and her spotlight in Romania has led to her to become the youngest ever coach on The Voice and was featured in a documentary of her career for HBO Max.  Now with the release of Laisse Tomber les Filles, Rimes shows off her command of the French language with her first single ever recorded in the dialect as she sets her sites on conquering more global markets.
