I need some info on this tune if anyone here can help me out please.

This tune was shaping up to be one of the biggest dance records of the summer but now it seems to have just disappeared before it's even been released.

The release date for this tune has been pushed back 3 times.
It was originally due to be released on 18th April, but then it was put back to 25th April, and then it was put back again to 2nd May.

But now according to websites such as Amazon and HMV.co.uk it has been deleted before it's even been released!.
Also stations like Galaxy that were playing it a lot a few weeks ago have now stopped playing it altogether and have removed it from their playlists.

Is this tune now not going to be commercially released as a CD single?

It seems like that might be the case, but I really hope not because I absolutely love this tune and have been waiting for months to buy a copy of it as a CD Single.

This tune was also getting loads of support on R1's specialist dance shows and from stations like Vibe & Galaxy, so god knows what the record company are playing at but they're stupid to not commercially release it if that's the case.

If anyone has any info about if/when this tune is eventually going to get a CD Single release I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks very much
Gareth.

It's been pushed back to June mate. I've heard its because they're re-recording it, i've also heard it's because they will get more remixes and the summer release date will go down better....

In my opinion - the time is now, ive had the tune and remixes for a couple of months now and can feel me getting bored within a month or so, even though it's a crackin tune.

Hi Pete, thanks for that.
I've looked in all my local record stores, HMV and Virgin in Cardiff City centre and neither of them had any copies of the tune for sale on CD or Vinyl. It looks like a few copies were sneaked out but not enough to go around to every major record store in the UK.
I'll go hunting for it on some mp3 sites and I'll send you a PM about it as well.

I thought that the release date had been pushed back but wasn't sure to when, so thanks very much for letting me know.

And I totally agree with what you're saying. By the time it does eventually get released people will probably be fed up of it.
It's been around since just after Christmas and it's been getting a lot of radio airplay recently so it seems stupid to now delay it when the tune was just starting to get hyped up ready for a release.

It was the same situation with "Soul Central - Strings of Life" last year. It was a huge tune over the summer and I absolutely loved it at first, but they then delayed releasing it until January instead of October and by the time it eventually got released it was being hammered on the radio and I was sick of it (I still bought it though for future reference ).

As far as I know. Galaxy were the only stations playing it. Hence why it's been pushed back and back and back. If Radio 1, Kiss and Capital don't play it they probably feel it won't be a hit. It was delivered to stations with a sticker saying "one of the biggest songs in miami" no doubt in two months time it'll be reserviced with the sticker ammended to say "one of the biggest songs in ibiza"

its all a bit classic piano-y, lots of singing and does it go something like "open up your heart and *mumble* freeeeee" !?!?!?

definalty hyped up to be the "dance anthem" of the summer....

Sorry, should've said Galaxy were the only station to "playlist" it. I have heard random plays Fri & Sat night etc on other stations.

The vocal sample is from an old disco record by Jackie Moore called "This Time Baby", good house version was done in the late 90s by Pray For More & Anette Taylor, this new version uses less vocal, but is well done!

While I haven't been able to find it in the shops either, it is on the iTunes Music Store. Along with about 8 remixes. That they're charging 80p each for as opposed to 1.99 for a CD single with all of them on. Whoop to that then.
