Let's get one thing out of the way first. Karen Overton's vocals do not, in any way, hold a candle to Billie Ray Martin's. She does a great job but she's no Billie Ray. There's absolutely no point in comparing them, Karen's an understudy, Billie Ray, a diva. If one was to judge this 2008 update on the 1994 classic based solely on the criteria of the vocals, the original would win, hands down, in every aspect. But let's not do that because Jose Amnesia hasn't done a bad job at all in reworking this huge mid nineties classic for the post trance generation. The track has a very prominent Ibiza after clubbing buzz to it, chill enough for those who have had enough but dancey enough for those with the energy and compulsion to keep on partying. It does a great job of conjuring up images of the sunrise on a beach somewhere, making you wish you had taken that plane trip to Ibiza for the summer after all.
