Norwegian producer Cashmere Cat has shared an alternative edit of "Be My Baby," a song he contributed to Ariana Grande's chart-topping (and quite satisfying) sophomore album, My Everything. Here, he strips back the album cut's sheen and re-animates Ari's raw vocals with syncopated gunshots, yelps and rainsticks. It's just a touch off-center, a little more electrified, and perhaps a little closer to the "something naughty" she's yearning for.
