SaFire - Exotique

[🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾]

She is best known for the Freestyle-era hits "Don't Break My Heart", "Boy I've Been Told" and "Let Me Be The One". In the last few years, she released new versions of "Don't Break My Heart" and did a cover of "Can You Stand The Rain" with Cynthia.

"Exotique" was announced several months ago, however, it was finally released last week.

In addition to the original, there are remixes by Mike Rizzo, Johnny Vicious, Jamie J. Sanchez, Mark Alston, and Jim Heinz.

Masterbeat has the digital single as an exclusive right now.

I bought this earlier today. I was hoping one of the other digital stores would have it, but I only wanted a couple of the mixes. Then I noticed that the digital single had a total of 13 versions and it worked out to be a better deal. ;)

Overall, I think all the mixes are pretty good, but the standouts for me are the Johnny Vicious, Jamie J Sanchez and Jim Heinz mixes.

My favorite is Mike Rizzo Mix... the rest is just okay.

The more I listen to Mike's mix, the more I really like it. At first, I was put off by like when it first brings into the vocals and slowly builds and builds, then doesn't explode. But now, I appreciate why. It does it again, very slowly, with that haunting chord progression.

Nice.

EDIT: I'm still wishing it had an explosion later on though. He just did such a good job with the subtle, delicate building. This one would sound good on a really great system, with a lot of bass.
