Snap (Fargo Remix) by Rosa Linn
Song Year: 2022
Fans went wild when Rosa Linn shared a remix version of SNAP on her social media accounts in June of 2022. The sentimental tone of its original version about bruised self-worth in the face of heartbreak takes on an edgier, more seductive energy in the club-inspired remix.
It's no surprise that Rosa Linn chose the famed music producer Fargo for this collaboration, seeing as both Fargo and Rosa Linn are of Armenian heritage. Although he is an LA-based producer, Fargo works with various recording artists from the European music market.
