Inaya Day - Spin Me Round

After having done pretty well with some of the covers she has done, including "Nasty Girl" and "The Glamorous Life", Inaya is back with another one. This time, she takes on the Dead Or Alive classic "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)."

It may seem a bit horrendous on paper, but the manner in which it was executed was quite unorthodox and fun. Instead of just covering the whole song, the only part of the song covered is the first half of the chorus. The verses and the other half of the chorus of this song have completely new lyrics. And the verses are not done to the tune of the original verses in the DOA track. Pop princess Jessica Simpson has also done a similar thing with the DOA track for her upcoming album. She, however relies upon keeping the track sounding more like the original DOA track. Sounds and other effects from the original DOA version are thankfully kept to a minimum. Inaya makes this track her own. She brings her unique energy and voice to this and gives this track a treatment that is so fresh that it is worth listening to over and over.

Mike Cruz did the main mix of this track. It opens up his two disc mix compilation Many Moods Of Mike Cruz. The compilation is on sale at PerfectBeat and at iTunes.

This track may be released later on as a single, but there's no word on whether that is actually going to happen at this time.
