Polica gets another look from of their single "Tiff" with Minneapolis' Greg Grease adding a verse to the remix by The Weeknd producer Doc McKinney. The track premiered over at Potholes In My Blog who said "Grease goes all the way in on this woozy soundscape outfitted with late-night synthesizers and Auto-Tune’d vocals. It’s rare that I give tracks like this the time of day because, let’s be real, there are a dozens of remixes/freestyles released every day by some artist trying to jump on a trend. In the case of Grease, he found a way to complement one of his favorite songs of the moment. That ain’t easy". Agreed.
