It's been a while I haven't reviewed, it's because I had a slight fever for the past week, but now I'm back, back with Tiesto's latest release. What we have here is a bizarre one. Starts off with some dreamy voices going around your surround speakers, until a hard beat kicks in, shortly followed by... African vocals! A sort of a chant an African tribe would sing while dancing around a fire! I told you - bizarre! Soon enough a couple African instruments come in, and you really don't know what's going on; is it Tiesto or Dario G? The bizarreness continues til the breakdown. Here we have some Opera vocals... yes, from Trance to Tribal House to Opera! Soon enough, a trancy melody comes in, and the track kicks back into an uplifting stormer. After that we're back to the tribe women chanting about how hard it is for a single pregnant woman in today's modern world
I can describe this track with 2 words: bizarre & controversial. We have 3 different styles here, something very bizarre, and since Tiesto is involved, it immediately becomes controversial. This remix will surely ignite debates among all trancers (I already sense one coming my way here, I just hope it is an educated on, unlike some other ones before...). Some will say that it's good that Tiesto is experimenting with different sounds and trying to create something new. Others will say that he's so lost in his identity that he doesn't know what he's producing anymore, or that he's just doing it for the money. Regardless, in my opinion, this is a bizarre yet catchy track. Sure we trancers are not used to dancing to tribal sounds on a trancy melody, but a little open-mindedness and acceptance of diversity doesn't hurt anyone. I believe that Tiesto did a good job on this remix, and I am looking forward to your educated opinions, especially the critical ones. I am getting pretty tired from blind Tiesto-fanaticism, and equally from blind Tiesto-rebellion. Be moderate, judge the track for its musical value, and not based on your fanatic/hateful instincts.
