Soul Central / Kathy Brown - Strings of Life (Stronger on My Own)

Ultra/Defected
These pure 'old fashion' house tunes just keep getting better and better as their 'comeback' keeps getting stronger and stronger. This single was in some ways a single in the making. Meaning in Europe this was a single just as a house instrumental and was spun by DJs all over. It was then given a makeover in the form of Kathy Brown's voice over this very addicting piano/violin-styled house track. It took off again and never looked back. In fact, I have heard some people refer to this as a masterpiece. Being a masterpiece will always spark a debate, but what will not spark a debate is how amazing this generation is acccepting the reincarnation of soulful house into its arms. The signs of the success of this single is evident everywhere from CD Compilations to clubs to mixshows and to some in regular radio rotation. In some ways, even our parents' generation can start to except some of this soulful house music that is coming out as it bears a good resemblance to the Motown and classic R&B days mixed in with a classic house twist. The mixes are subtle but they work with perfection.
Depending if you grab the Import single off of Defected or the Domestic copy from Ultra will vary on your mix choices. Mixes include the Full Length Radio and Extended Mix, Danny Krivit Mix, Martijn Ten Velden & Mark Knight Toolroom Mix, Funky Lowlives Mix.
