Riva feat. Dannii Minogue - Stringer (Who Do You Love Now)

[Ezekiel 23:20–21]

This was originally released as an instrumental called "Stringer" in 2001. A new vocal version was recorded with Dannii Minogue as "Who Do You Love Now." A French language version "(Est-ce Que) tu M'aimes Encore" was also made for the Canadian and French markets but that release was canceled. That version did get included as a B-side on the commercial singles. It ended up being a top 10 and top 20 single throughout most of Europe.

I discovered this on an Ultra Records compilation and I absolutely loved it. It's such an uplifting, driving track. Dannii's breathy style of singing may not seem like a good fit for a Trance song but it works great here.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! I love this so much!

I was a huge fan of vocal trance around 04/05 and when I discovered this years later, I was like "How did I not know a Minogue sister recorded a trance hit?!?!?"

Neon Nights is also a killer album

This is perfection. Dannii deserved a UK #1 with either this or I Begin To Wonder.

The Neon Nights era is the only time I properly remember seeing Dannii as a commercial entity (her 90's product passed me by and she fell off soon after this while Kylie remained much more visible). This was a great song, should've been bigger here (as should the Neon Nights singles).

The Neon Nights era was a perfect balance of being cutting edge and commercially marketable. It doesn't help that her output on AATW was mishandled as badly as it was. That was a really bad decision.

So good.
