DHT featuring Edmee - I Go Crazy

This was originally the b-side to the UK release of "Someone." It is now the third official U.S. single.

Just like their breakthrough hit "Listen To Your Heart", which was a cover of a Roxette song, "I Go Crazy" is also a cover. This is a cover of a song by Paul Davis.

Lead singer Edmee does justice to this song. Her vocals are simply perfect and spot on.

The Album Version is a simple piano-based ballad. The main single and club versions are remixed by Giuseppe D. It is a hard, thumping energetic mix. It calls to mind the Furious mixes of "Listen To Your Heart" and "Someone." However, this one is much more melodic. The piano elements from the original are still present though.

In the HardBounze edit and extended mixes, the beats are a not as hard as they usually are. These call to mind Cascada's signature sound just in the style. This song is really begging for a Cascada mix. The breaks elements that are there every so often in the verses are really nice too.

House mixes are also available too. The previous DHT releases did not have House mixes for the U.S. Many DJs voiced their concerns and they have been taken into consideration. Hardino's mix is a sophisticated funky house confection. It is so perfect. Again, the piano elements are still present. The vocals just sound great over this simple layered production. Closing the single is the stellar Old School House Remix. Sporting newly recorded vocals, this mix is a lot more soulful than the Hardino mix. It calls to mind 70's disco and the soulful house of the early 90's. It works quite well.

All these mixes are quite good. This is a must-have.
