Retromigration, the German-born and Amsterdam-based producer, is known for a sound that blends Nigerian roots with a sophisticated background in jazz and classical music. In his reimagining of "Love Story," he strips back the original to its most essential elements, replacing the primary drive with his signature "slick touch."
