Song of the Day: Break My Fall

The last time Dutch trance superstar DJ Tiesto teamed up with one of America's foremost Electronica artist, BT, we got the great hit "Love Comes Again". Well, they've teamed up again and the result, "Break My Fall", is definitely another hit in the making.

BT's charming voice is one that's perfect for trance music, and it shows in this piece. Pair it with Tiesto's great production and this one is a sheer beauty. I saw the video on youtube, and it's great. My only beef is that whoever did BT's hair---I could do better blindfolded! LOL...but nonetheless, it's a great production.

Check out this track. Tiesto often teams up with great vocalists in addition to BT: Jes Brieden, Christian Burns, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Suzanne Palmer, and more. He knows a good voice when he hears it.

Song of the Day: Again

A new artist has come out of the Netherlands named Kim Leoni. Her debut, "Again", is a real beauty of a song. It's a great song with various mixes both in Eurodance style and Trance. In the US, the single has been signed onto Robbins Entertainment label. For those who may not know, it's an all-Dance label but tends to only sign artists they feel will make it big. (Ie, Cascada, DJ Sammy and a few others that bring in the bucks.) For them to take on Kim Leoni speaks well of her chances to make it big on this side of the Atlantic.
Check out "Again"....I think you'll find it a great beginning for this young talented singer. My favorite mix is the Neo Cortex mix, but most of them are quite good regardless.

Song of the Day: We All Belong

My first "Song-of-the-Day" Post:
"We All Belong" by Kate Ryan

I'm a big fan of Kate Ryan. I've been listening to her since she began releasing great Eurodance singles a few years ago. "Libertine", "Scream For More", "Only If I", "Je T'Adore", "Alive", "All For You"...the list goes on and on. The fact that she not only releases great songs in English but also in French is very awesome to me.
For those who don't know much about her, they can read up on her and hear all her songs at her website www.kateryan.be , so I won't go into all that here. Suffice to say, she is one of several awesome Belgian dance music artists that have become world-famous over the past half-a-dozen years for their upbeat, energetic music.

Her latest release is "We All Belong". At first hearing, you'll think that this song is actually pretty simple compared to most modern Dance Music. Not many overlapping instruments...a basic beat and a synthesizer or two. Certainly different from "Libertine"!
But the basic melody, verses and chorus are great. You really get into it. The tune gets in your head real easily. And the lyrics have a great story---everyone unite and get along. Nothing too deep, but it's fun.
This song has been released for the 2007 Euro Gay Games in Antwerp, Belgium, so it seemed appropriate for Kate Ryan. Plus, if you search youtube for this song, you might find an interview where Kate mentions her father is gay, and is getting married to his boyfriend! (Yes, they can do that in Belgium.)

I know Kate's no where near as famous in the US as she is in Europe. And it's a shame. I think most Americans, at least the dance music fans, would adore her if they heard her. I hope you do too.
