Well here’s a turn-up for the books… pOp siblings Natasha and Daniel are both heading onto the dancefloors, with previous singles from both Bedingfields being remixed, reworked and re-released. Let’s first take a look at Natasha’s offering. While Natasha is currently ensconced in the US top five singles chart with her track ‘Pocketful Of Sunshine’, this release is rumoured to be the lead single from Chicane’s forthcoming ‘Greatest Hits’ compile. ‘Bruised Water’ mashes up Chicane’s mammoth 1999 club smash ‘Saltwater’ with Natasha’s moderate 2005 UK hit ‘I Bruise Easily’. It works – particularly as they’ve kept some of Maire Brennan’s original vocals to form the chorus/crescendo towards the song’s end. Here’s the vid;
Now here’s Daniel’s offering. Daniel achieved worldwide success with his single ‘If You’re Not The One’ back in 2002 and even though it was remixed at the time by Metro (the song’s producer Mark Taylor), it’s now been given the ’08 makeover by Sharam (producer/remixer Sharam Tayebi – one half of Deep Dish). The song is built around a sample of Dan’s falsetto chorus of the original song and features new verses, vocalled by Daniel himself. It’s these new verses that distinguish it from the original song. Still, the original 2002 track was such a powerful, emotive and extraordinarily well crafted pOp ballad that even then we didn’t think it lent itself to being remixed. Let us know your thoughts after you watch the clip;
