BBC Three - Project Icon: The UK’s Next Music Star, Series 1, Episode 3

The judges challenge the artists to remix each other’s tracks in the studio.

The artists head to the studio, where they are paired up and challenged to rework their rivals' signature tracks with some of the music industry's leading producers.

The halfway point in the competition is approaching, and platinum-selling artist Jason Derulo and his fellow judges, international music manager Frank Harris and UK chart topper Becky Hill, continue their search for the next global music Icon. In this episode, the judges are throwing another creative curveball at the six remaining artists, and this time they will be testing their commercial potential in song production.

Hosted by Jordan North, this challenge sees the battling artists paired up and hitting the studio to rework and remix their partner’s signature track. They are each joined by one of the UK’s most iconic music producers and must communicate a clear creative vision for reimagining their track, stamping it with their own unique style and, most importantly, creating a track with chart-topping potential. Once they’ve finished in the studio, they will then have to showcase their reworked song live in front of their rivals and the judges. But for some, will nerves prevent them from delivering a killer performance? 

The two artists who fail to make the grade must sing their hearts out to stay in the competition, before another person is dropped from Project Icon.
