I am loving the Soul Seekerz remix of this song.

Anyone else?

7Digital.com also is selling a "TS7" remix. It's alright.

iTunes and Amazon have these too.

I heard this one for the first time yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Pretty good.

Bah. I hope this bitter, racist b¡tch disappears as quickly as she appeared.

Racist, what happened? I don't know much about her, I just like the song A LOT.

You know, if Estelle was white and would've said the same thing, they would've crucified her. Yet nothing happens to Estelle. Racism works both ways.




Estelle hits out at music industry
(Friday March 28, 2008 02:52 PM)

Singer Estelle has hit-out at the British music industry's promotion of white stars as soul singers.

The 28-year-old, from west London, is currently top of the singles chart with American Boy.

But she had to go to the US to find the success she has achieved today.

Of Adele and Duffy, who she knocked off the Number One spot at the weekend, she said: "I'm not mad at them, but I'm wondering - how the hell is there not a single black person in the press singing soul?"

She told The Guardian newspaper's Film & Music supplement: "Adele ain't soul. She sounds like she heard some Aretha records once, and she's got a deeper voice - that don't mean she's soul.

"That don't mean nothing to me in the grand scheme of my life as a black person. As a songwriter, I get what they do. As a black person, I'm like: you're telling me this is my music?"

Estelle's breakthrough hit came in 2004 with the autobiographical 1980, but she disappeared from the charts soon afterwards.

She said her record label was not prepared for the success of the single and had no idea what to do next.

She questioned the British music industry's willingness to allow the careers of young black British musicians to end prematurely.

She said: "I went to, like, five record labels here. All the same umms and errs. So I went to the States - I wasn't brought up to just sit there and moan - 'Oh they won't give me a chance!' - and they took me to the top man at Atlantic. And immediately, he said: 'Yeah, you're good!"

Everything that Soul Seekers touch is very similar.

The remix of this is very similar to "Dance Like Theres No Tomorrow." Its not that i dont like what Soul Seekers do, they just need to change their sound once in a while.

Yeh, I know what you mean....the mix they did for Mutya sounds almost identicle to the mix they did for Ciara....I don't mind that much though because I quite like the sound of their mixes. I'm sure it will wear thin soon enough though.
