...actually, he has two versions on the CD--the regular radio mix and an "urban re-mix"). Shaggy has committed sacrilege by performing the song and it is not any good. Presumably one of the worse songs on the CD, Shaggy has taken it upon himself to do a remix of this classic song with vocals by a singer named Marsha in the tradition of Mariah Carey. Both Shaggy and Marsha are completely off the mark, this song which was quintessential Janis Joplin just does not work as a reggae version. An examination of Shaggy's lyrics reveal such sensitive...
DOLLY PARTON's brand of music doesn't normally conjure up images of a crowded club full of sweaty bodies gyrating until dawn. But that may change now that the singer who makes Antoni Gaudi's buildings look tame has had a few cuts off her latest album, Treasures, remixed as dance tunes. The deed was done by Junior Vasquez, a New York City nightclub fixture and producer, who says the first cut, Peace Train, is already a big hit at Arena, the club where he's a deejay. "If I don't play it, they start shouting...
Wait. Haven't we heard this story before? Is this the remix? It was just six months ago that Tupac Shakur, one of the West Coast's most charismatic and popular gangsta rappers, was slain in a similar drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Now Wallace, one of the East Coast's biggest rap stars, is dead too. Like Shakur, Biggie had foretold his own demise. On the dirgelike song You're Nobody, from his forthcoming CD, he raps, "You're nobody/ Till somebody kills...
...historian could quibble with details, and Goffin might do more than that: his character is a preening, obnoxious adulterer. But the problem is not historical sense; it's dramatic sense. Nice turns by John Turturro (as a remix of producers Phil Spector and Don Kirshner), Bridget Fonda (as a teen-star lesbian) and Douglas are lost in Anders' reductive message: in the '60s guys were creeps or psychos. Shirelles songs had more insight than that...
This second life is not always more fulfilling. Country star Reba McEntire's version of You Keep Me Hangin' On has been remixed as a dance CD single--but the remix is gimmicky and plodding. And the single for singer Chantay Savage's slinky, soul version of I Will Survive contains two clunky rap remixes. On the other hand, one of the strongest rock songs of late, Pearl Jam's commanding I Got Id, is available only on CD single. The story of the single isn't finished yet. It's a work in progress...
