MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A re-styled version of the Elvis Presley hit "Suspicious Minds" hit radio stations on Monday, part of an album being released later this year featuring newer, more contemporary takes on many of his hits.
"Suspicious Minds" is the first single off "Viva Elvis-The Album," set for mass release Nov. 9. The 12-track compilation is a companion piece to the Las Vegas show "Viva Elvis" by Cirque du Soleil, which began in February.
The new "Suspicious Minds" and the other reworked songs on the album could strike a dissonant chord with Elvis’ older fans. But the minds behind the new album said the new tracks won’t lose the qualities that made them hits in the 1950s and ’60s.

I am a professional musician. This Remix is EXACTLY right......Elvis would be loving it. The original backup was very redundant and pedestrian.
Excellent job!!
Didn’t like the beginning, but loved it about 1/2 way! Thanks for posting. :o)
“....new take on the King...”

Whew! Its about the music. Good.
These days, one might expect the FagMafia to try to “expose” The Pelvis as a closet queer.
Fine young cannibals did an awesome job with a rework in the late 80's
What happened to Col. Tom Parker? What percentage of Elvis’ money did he get? (I heard 50%) What did he do with it and is he still around?
Yes, I think Elvis would love it too!
Awful. Sounds like it was recorded when he was taking downers. At times, not even sure it is his voice. Too slow. No edge. Borders on elevator music. Awful.
Dang! That sucker’s actually GOOD! I agree that Elvis would’ve LOVED it!
Col. Tom left this mortal coil Jan. 21st, 1997.
Thanks. Know anything about their arrangement?
Anyway, if you get a chance to read a bio on Parker, he had a very colorful life, even before he hooked up with Presley.
Remix of Suspicious Minds sucks for musicality and deliberate off timing of vocals to the beat.
I would never buy this crappy hoax.
Don’t take life so seriously... You’ll never live through it!
This has been my favorite song since release....I'll stick with the original, thanks.
The “Colonel” was an illegal Dutch immigrant. Which is the reason the Colonel never left the US when Elvis was serving in the Army in Germany. It is also the reason Elvis never toured Europe: the Colonel could not risk leaving the US because he would have had to obtain a passport. He also made sure Elvis paid more than his fair share of taxes (no legal loopholes or dodges) in case of the IRS snooping around.
It’s a fascinating story that has only come to light after Elvis died.
Still a crappy remix.
The other two previous remix’s were terrific.
This one is just plain junky.
I thought you were referring to my post.
My bad.....and keep smiling,
Philip.
PS I haven't heard the remix, so I can't comment on that.
original is much better - the remix is off
