Los Angeles-based chanteuse Zola Jesus had a banner 2011 with the success of her album, ‘Conatus,’ which landed on many tastemakers’ year-end lists and set the stage for a potential breakout in 2012. And four days into the year, the singer (born Nika Roza Danilova), has received an impressive co-sign with the release of a David Lynch remix of her song, ‘In Your Nature.’

The original version of the song features tense strings and a rumbling bass, and floats along on the back of Zola’s increasingly confident voice. Lynch strips away nearly everything -- the double-time rhythms, the synthetic hand claps, the vast arrangement -- and replaces it with a simpler structure, one that leaves her voice front and center and augments it with a moody guitar strum.
