Swedish-born producer and DJ Claes Rosen has finally unveiled his track ‘If This World Were Mine’, a viral remake of the 1967 Marvin Gaye classic from the album ‘United’. Previously a bootleg, the track has been reborn for the streaming platforms, ready to see its popularity soar into the stratosphere once again.

Originally making the rounds when uploaded to YouTube seven years ago, it has since racked up a staggering 36 million view count, with Rosen not only building a loyal following for the track, but himself. Since 2020 he has been working to clear the sample, and now with the green light it’s about to make serious waves within the electronic world.

This modern take on ‘If This World Were Mine’ answers the age-old question: what if Marvin Gaye made soulful house music? Melodic and emotional, the world that Rosen built around the track is one of serenity, thanks to its laid-back approach to its soundscape. Being careful to pay homage to Gaye’s timeless voice, he expertly combines the contemporary with the classic, creating something for all audiences to lose themselves within.

‘If This World Were Mine’ – out now on all major streaming platforms via EMI Sweden.
