"Diva" is from Becky's debut album Becstasy released in 2003. Becky is known for the club and Dance radio hits "Getaway" and "If You Love Me" in the early 2000s (I linked the remixes by Mike Rizzo and Tony Moran & Mac Quayle respectively as those are more well-known). The Becstasy album included covers of Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and Karissa Noel's "Corrupt." She also recorded the song "Without Love" for that album which Singaporean Pop singer Sun covered in 2005. Since 2003, Becky has continued performing and has done lots of TV stuff. She is married to Kris Lythgoe, son of mega producer Nigel Lythgoe. "Diva" has been given brand new remixes by Griffin White, Mike Bordes, Oliver Watts, and Peter Barona with John Hull. A new remix of "Supernova Light" by Tony Moran is also going to be included on the single. "Supernova Light" also appeared on the Becstasy album. The release is planned for June 18. previews of two of the mixes: Mike Bordes Radio Edit soundcloud.com/mike-bordes/becky-baeling-diva-mike-bordesOliver Watts Radio Edit soundcloud.com/oliver-watts/becky-baeling-diva-oliver-radio-edit
I loved Becky's two hits when they came out and was disappointed that she basically vanished from the music scene. I like this song and the two new mixes sound great. I discovered "Supernova Light" a few years back when I heard a little bit of a new remix that Tony did of it in 2011 in a video of him playing it out. This new one may in fact be that mix, or a slightly reworked version of it. I'm excited about the release of that.

That entire album was fantastic. If I'm not surprised, Wicked star Shoshanna Bean does all the background riffing vocals on "Diva." Be curious to know if those background vocals are intact for this revision.
I was surprised to see Becky as a host on one of those celebrity Diving shows recently. I hate that her album didn't find more success (although two #1s on the Club Play chart was not too shabby!)
Looking forward to this new stuff.
(i'm guessing being married to Nigel's kid has helped her finances. Wow!)

Shoshana's vocals are intact. You can hear her clearly on the radio edits linked.

I had the opportunity to review the full single for my blog. Based on hearing all of the versions in full, the vocals on both songs sound like they are from the original Becstasy studio sessions.
I do hope that the "Getaway", "If You Love Me", and "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" remixes from the vinyl singles and promos are made available for sale as only the edits of "Getaway" were released on a CD promo. Some of the others have been available on Promo Only and other DJ only services. And there is a hot unreleased Tony Moran mix of "Getaway" that he played some of on a mixed compilation.

I have some additional confirmations and information from Bill Friar of Bill Friar Entertainment: On the vocals: "The vocals were reproduced by Tony Moran for our release." On the Lythgoes involvement: "I want to assure you, the Lythgoes have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the release. We started this project way before Becky married Kris. Bill Friar Entertainment solely has invested in the release." EDIT: I almost forgot to mention that it's available to purchase at JunoDownload: www.junodownload.com/products/becky-baeling-diva-the-remixes/2230839-02/

There's a remix EP on some of the digital outlets for "Getaway" including Dave's club and Rizzo's club and dub. I saw it on Amazon, 7digital and I bought it from qobuz. Would love to see the rest of them (E-Smoove and Extension 119 versions) released too...

Ditto to the re-release of her previous mixes. Those songs still hold up. I have a crummy copy of the Thick Dick mix to If You Love Me, and in many ways, it almost surpasses what Tony Moran/Mac Quayle did. That is such a great track all around.
