Soul Central - Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)

, Jun 21, 2005

I absolutely hate this rework. I do am a fan of Kathrine but this dont feel right at all. Everybody should know this by know as they beefed up the beats, added the used-one-time-too many percussions on it and dropped a messy and un-arranged vocal on top of it. I also think the production sucks big time with the mix of the old sounds combined with new.

Like many others, i love the original Strings Of Life and this was, like the Innercity -"Big Fun" rework a few years ago, a poor attempt in the end. Because of the popularity of the original, this was bound to be a hit in clubs and radio. And after listening to it you just sit there cold like a question mark thinking: "Whats the point?".

Leave the classics alone please, i beg you all.
This stunt has been done better with Bucketheads - "The Bomb" to mention one, but this cash-in job is total bollocks.
And that Danny Krivit put a hand on it is another think i dont really get.
