Billie Myers - Just Sex

This one surfaced earlier in the year through some hard, driving tribal mixes by Roland Belmares. A few months later, a mix by Wayne G. & Porl Young was released on Promo Only and on CD Pool. And this one is not going to go away quietly.

This one resurfaces through some new mixes by Eddie Baez. The 3 track promo contains a Vocal Mix, a Mixshow Edit and a Dub.

CD promo tracklisting:
01. Eddie Baez Vocal Mix
02. Eddie Baez Mixshow Edit
03. Eddie Baez Dub Mix

Eddie's mixes are not as hard and industrial sounding as the Roland Belmares mixes. However, these mixes are very energetic and anthemic. The Vocal Mix clocks in at over 10 minutes. And the actual vocals don't come in until about 4 minutes into the mix. There's a nice buildup before the first verse. Lots of vocal loops and effects. The Mixshow Edit is a tight version of the longer mix that only removes some of the additional loops without losing the energy. The Dub has plenty of ups and downs in energy. Just when it seems like it's ending, it goes "up" again. Lots of nice looping also on this one.

Now for the lyrics! These are a bit of a departure for Ms. Myers, however, she delivers them with finesse. She sounds, well, sexy on this one. The naughty lyrics are sure to initiate "oh my, did she just say that?" responses on the dancefloor.
