Ella Eyre’s take on “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” already offered a striking reinvention of the Jermaine Stewart classic, replacing much of the original song’s pop exuberance with vulnerability and restraint. Eyre’s unmistakably raspy, full-bodied vocal gives the lyric considerably more emotional weight, turning what could easily have remained an ’80s nostalgia piece into something intimate and contemporary. The song later appeared on Eyre’s 2015 EP and the deluxe edition of her debut album Feline, but it is particularly well suited to remixing because the simplicity of the arrangement leaves so much room around the vocal.

Tep No’s remix takes advantage of that space, shifting the track towards the relaxed deep-house and tropical-house territory that became a defining part of the Canadian producer’s sound. Rather than overwhelming Eyre with an oversized dance production, the remix creates a smoother, more expansive setting in which her vocal remains the centre of gravity. The result sits somewhere between reflective pop and understated electronic music: emotionally direct enough for headphones, yet given enough rhythmic momentum to work effortlessly in a chilled late-night or summer playlist. Tep No’s extended treatment transforms the ballad without stripping away its intimacy, making this one of those remixes that feels less like an alternative version and more like a natural second life for the song.
