Kim Sozzi - Break Up

Ms. Sozzi is back with a followup to her stellar cover of Heart's "Alone." This song is a simple, fun vocal track that isn't a remake (as far as we know).

The single version is remixed by Cascada. The hard, driving trancey sound that is characteristic of most Cascada songs is present here. The comination of Cascada and Kim Sozzi works really well. Kim's voice lends itself really well to trance music, as it does to other musical genres. Although the production here is really reminiscent of Cascada's own singles, that's okay. Vocal trance songs are back in full fashion, and what better way to start than with this one?

In addition to Cascada, Johnny Budz and Ian Nieman have also done remixes. Budz does a much housier, dirty electro mix, while Nieman's mix is slightly circuit house. In the case of Nieman, it's not the usual trancey/synthy circuit stuff he's known for. It works though.

All the mixes for this song can be purchased at BeatPort as a digital download, while the Cascada Radio Mix can be purchased a la carte at iTunes. A CD maxi featuring the Cascada and Budz mixes is available at PerfectBeat.
