Undisco Me (2008)

Billie had been to Memphis and back and wanted a hit. Sadly wasn't to be. Bit of a dance chart smash.
 
Loving Arms is one of the greatest examples of an elevated vocal. The music is just standard 90s euro house. It’s really nothing special. But that vocal my God. One of the greatest dance vocals ever.

the Electribe track is of course amazing.

never heard Undisco Me before, it’s a nice bop. She does moody like no other.
 
Honey (Chicane Remix) (1999)

TRANCE NATION. This is where it all went wrong for our Billie. It was due to be a top 10 hit by ALL ACCOUNTS and stumbled in at about No.54. Still quite favoured on dance compilations.
 
Well this is one of the best songs I've heard in ages.
Getting a mental image of that famous anecdote about Brian Eno going into David Bowie's studio with a vinyl of Donna Summer - I Feel Love and saying "THIS IS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC", except with a USB with Billie Ray Martin - Undisco Me on while Bowie was recording Blackstar :disco:

What fabulous cover art Undisco Me has too :disco:

It's just so gloriously MISERABLE. And getting Chicane involved should have guaranteed a top 20 at least back then.
 
the full on Chicane mix is quite the emotional journey. I think she had issues with her record company React and laid the blame squarely at their door for its failure....

Well, she JUST WOULD.

I didn’t know there were high expectations for it. Maybe 1999 wasn’t a good year to expect much, nearly every hit in 1999 was some Ibiza anthem. I was out there that year and I don’t remember hearing it. Must have gotten lost in the shuffle.

I have moopy to thank for this remix. Was introduced to it about ten years ago. It is indeed FANTASTIC. It’s standard Chicane fair but again her vocal takes it to another place.
 
what a somber banger this is :D

the artwork is UTTERLY FABULOUS.
