Two questions...if anyone else has heard tracks from DJ Sammy's upcoming CD "The Rise"...listen to the track, "WHY"...why does it sound so damn familiar? I know it's a cover...but I can't put my finger on who first sang it...any help? Annie Lennox maybe?
"This is the fear...this is the dread...these are the contents of my head...these years that we've spent...this is what they represent...do you know how I feel? I think you know how I feel..."
and it goes on...
ALSO...anyone know who provides the female vocals for the new DJ sammy album?

Yup that is a cover of "Why" by Annie Lennox from her album Diva. I haven't heard the album but would love to hear it. Alas, I can just judge by the lyrics and tell you its a cover of Annie.

I have since heard this song. I like this one a little more than I liked "Rise Again". This is a decent update to the classic song. It would have been cool if Annie Lennox were to do new mixes of the song. Yup that is a cover of "Why" by Annie Lennox from her album Diva. I haven't heard the album but would love to hear it. Alas, I can just judge by the lyrics and tell you its a cover of Annie. The album is very good. Annie's voice is in perfect form and the lyrics are very deep. "Why", "Cold", "Walking On Broken Glass" and "Little Bird" are some of my favorites from the album. If you get your hands on the album, you will be taken on a great journey you will want to take over and over again. |

I love me some Annie.  |

Looks like this is going to be a single as there is already a PROMO CD out of it. Anyone have the promo? How is it?

HMV has a couple of CD Singles, PROMOS and a Remix EP up for pre-order...no album art or tracklistings yet though.

Now I know who did the vocals for this track...
DJ SAMMY
Why
Producer(s): DJ Sammy, Martin Eyerer, Oliver Laib
Writer(s): A. Lennox
Publisher(s): BMG/
Genre: DANCE
Label/Catalog Number: Robbins (CD promo)
Source: Billboard Magazine
Originally Reviewed: August 27, 2005
DJ Sammy deserves a boatload of credit for returning high energy to the U.S. airwaves. His 2004 cover of Bryan Adams' "Heaven" was the first hit indulgence of a remake with a beat since Nicki French's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" 10 years ago. Miraculously, lightning has struck again with D.H.T.'s similarly conceived uptempo re-rub of Roxette's "Listen to Your Heart," which has beat all odds to land in the top 10. So it is apropos that Sammy would return with "Why," a fast-paced rearrangement of the 1992 Annie Lennox staple. The song goes exactly where you would expect: joyous beats, riveting tempo and a vocal that closely mimics Lennox's original (kudos to Britta Medeiros). It ain't rocket science, but it sure is a blast.—CT
