Amber - Just Like That (Romeo And Juliet)
Producer: Wolfram Dettki / Genre: DANCE / Label: JMCA Dance siren Amber continues to serve up cuts from her latest, perhaps greatest album, "My Kind of World". On "Just Like That (Romeo and Juliet),," she prepares the cut for tribal dancefloor warfare with mixes from Belmares & Preve, Solar City vs. DJ Rico, Jason Nevins, Corbo & Atchinson and Jeff Barringer. Each version adds appreciable spice to the guitar-infused original. Nevins maintains the grit of the guitars, while transforming the primary melody line into a nervous, enigmatic backbeat, all the while placing Amber's vocals far out in front. Solar City and Belmares & Preve offer the more high-energy, stadium anthemics that Amber fans may most appreciate, and Corbo & Atchinson's club mix is a more meandering and layered reworking. In all, Amber fans have a reason to celebrate: As usual, she remains front and center, letting the beats be her friend, but never the leader of the remix pack. — Chuck Taylor (Billboard Magazine) |
