Cara, como eu gosto desta música! O RIP ficou ótimo, Paul! Grato!
Man, how I like this song! RIP great, Paul! Thanks!
Abraços do Brasil.
I did not know (or did not remember) “Even In The Darkest Hours”. I liked!
Fantastic, thank you Paul!! Another new one for me and I love it! I’m really getting a Laura Branigan – Self Control vibe from this one. Samantha Fox was certainly more than just a pretty face, she had the pipes and the tunes to back it up. As Jeff said, you are really thinking outside the coffin! Have a great weekend. You too Jeff and all the rest!
wonderful! thank you so much <3
You’re welcome, Patrick 🙂
This looks to be great fun, Paul! The original Nasty Girl, Samantha Fox, made some great club bangers. I like the title of this one and how it will fit in with other Halloween sounding records!
I’m so sad October’s coming to an end. It’s my favorite month, not just because of All Hallow’s Eve, although that does play a big part. Have a great weekend, Paul. You too, Song And Dance, Retro Hound, Martika, Fred, Daniel, ING and the rest!!
Jeff
Time goes by so fast. Have nice weekend 🙂
In retrospect, it’s astonishing that she actually has a great voice (no autotune back then), considering how she became famous. I’ve always loved her music, especially the first 2 albums, but also her later stuff.
Yes, she does have that voice!! Have a great weekend, Martika!!
Jeff
Nice extra versions, play it again, Sam!
Thank you, Martijn 🙂
