Notes:
Following the rip roaring success and widespread critical acclaim of
Larse'''s poignantly melancholic remix of this timeless classic, Defected
return with a second remix package that also features a re-mastered
version of Candi Staton'''s original cut. With its classic disco beat and
instruments, and her soulfully sublime praise vocals that have so easily
stood the test of time, you would be forgiven for assuming this Gospel /
Disco track was a re-release of a 70'''s disco classic. Indeed,
stylistically speaking, there isn'''t much to differentiate it from much
of her early output. Yet '''Hallelujah Anyway''', which was penned as a
stage encore to '''You Got The Love''', was only recorded back in 2002
and its lyrical content is as equally poignant as her late 80'''s anthem.
With its overwhelmingly positive message of the importance of having hope
in the face of all adversity, Stanton showcases her talent for capturing
a feeling that resonates across generations, reaffirming her status as
the unprecedented soul diva of dance. Remixes this time round come from
David Penn and Ashley Beedle, two legendary talents, both of whom retain
the essence of the original while placing their own unique stamp on
proceedings. Ashley Beedle'''s mixes feature early 90'''s-esque melodic
synths, which drive through the building instruments and chopped up
vocals with an upbeat energy, make it an ideal party piece, complimenting
Staton'''s gospel vibes perfectly. Meanwhile David Penn'''s offering is
equally energised, but with a gradual ascension of alternating keys
chords which build subtly with Candi'''s vocals and then drop suddenly
into a surprisingly low end refrain; it'''s a much naughtier twist on the
original. Candi Staton '''Hallelujah Anyway''' (Remixes) 1. Hallelujah
