Swedish pop duo Koralleven shows off their finely-tuned artistry by turning Britney Spears' global smash "Till The World Ends" into an atmospheric number of epic proportion. Taken from their forthcoming mixtape, "A Dream Within A Dream," the pop-savvy revamp drives the original's mix of menace and melancholy up to ecstatic new levels. 

Close your eyes and imagine a post-apocalyptic world with nothing but dust and destruction. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this is a big number filled with a sittering guitars and a synth intro that builds tension and erupts into huge, cavernous drums. Britney's processed chant as reimagined by Koralleven serves up both mourning and defiance that is truly compelling. 

It all starts off with an audio fragment from the movie Melancholia that sets the tone. It's a fantastic piece of work that ultimately is a true testament to Britney's brilliant original. Listen and grab it after the break.
