Thank you.

Could someone say if the hot single mix is different from the album version? They are both on the 2015 2-CD of the Tell It To My Heart album, and they sound the same.

I can tell you from buying the Cherry Pop CD in 2015 it is not that great of a remaster. Obviously, they are different lengths 3:40 and 3:22 you could buy the CD and find out for sure. Paul’s rip is stellar compared to the CD though.

One of my favourite female artists with such a powerful voice. I remember hearing this on the UK Top 40 back in 1988.

Thanks Paul 🙂

I like this song. It was the follow up single to her smash hit “Tell it to my heart” and was also a big hit here in Europe. Thanks Paul for sharing with us these great remixes.

Thank you Paul for dropping the FIERCENESS today!! Man, this is a scorcher. Ms. Dayne really has a set of pipes and the frenetic business of the track really burns up the speakers, the ears and the dancefloor!! Gosh, I love this woman!! You can’t contain that voice of hers and she’s not a screaming diva either. I am swooning Paul. Yes, this is another example of — dare I say it again? — quality Freestyle!! It’s tracks like this one that really made the genre stand up and kick the competition in the behind!! Paul, you’ve posted excellent records… Read more »
