thanx bro !
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.
Hi Paul. Is Prove Your Love (Extended Remix) on this the same as the House Mix on the Uk 12″ you uploaded some time ago?
It’s a different mix./
Thanks Paul ! my new DSD DAP and IEMs came in the mail today and THIS TRACK SET THEM ON FIRE.
SCORCHING DYNAMICS
(Zishan DSD Pro > TRN 2.5mm balanced Cable > Revonext QT2 twin DD + BA if anyone is curious)
also Paul what size donation would you need to start recording and releasing in DSD 128 ?
Yawn!
Not sure Kaex I really don’t know much about it.
Thank you so much, Paul! I really loved this track back in the day…so much energy and everyone danced to it.
Thanks again!!
You’re welcome Fred 🙂
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 🙂
You’re welcome Mark 🙂
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.
You’re welcome Daniel 🙂
Powerful song and artist. Probably not my favorite female singer, but this song really rocks!
Thank you, again.
You’re welcome Alberto 🙂
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 »
Always loved Taylor Dayne she has a voice to be reckoned with. Great production here but I am afraid it will not outdo the synth-pop/latin sweetness of yesterdays PSB post a massive 170 like on our facebook I think it may have set a record lol. 🙂
That’s incredible news Paul!! I love when you share these results with us. All hail to “Domino Dancing”!!!
