Gina G - Fresh! (1997)

[Pipo]

Ti Amo was such a bop. I remember how much I had to endure if I wanted to get luck and catch the video on MTV sandwiched between awful alternative bands and boring rap nobodies.

Were you serviced a remix over in Mexico? Just when you describe it as a bop.

Imagine if Gina had performed this on TV:



Although truth be told it's the Metro remix I go for - the salsa piano breakdown simultaneously hospitalised Gloria Estefan for a 2nd time and of course invented Spain, which was previously called Amore-Mio.

My favourite non OOH AAH moment is

 

[Kratz]

'Everytime I Fall' absolutely sounded like it didn't quite make the cut on a Louise album. Lovely song though.

The album edit is too slow and slushy for me. I much prefer the Todd Terry radio edit:



And the incredible Metro dance remix that features a piano-breakdown that surely took its cue from GALA's Freed From Desire at the 3:37 mark:

Just been chatting away to one of the songwriters. Seemingly she was not replying to any emails for this project and owns the RADIO edit of Ooh Ahh, hence it's not on there. And she remarried. G-A-Y also tried to get her last year, but another non-replied to moment for our GG. Videos were shot in 720p, have been cleaned up, but not at 4k upscaling. The remastering on the album said to be very good and the new ballad better than Missing You Like Crazy. And her staging company? "I didn't see much staging going on". Ooh er ... just a little bit no longer friends by the sounds of it x

Now dream is all I do
of paradise
AND YOU

Originally featured on Meja of It's All About The Money's previous bands album. So a cover but I do love that it was produced by Harding & Curnow for Gina.

In at #35 on the album sales chart this week following the re-release.

I know the singles but I have never listened to this album. Also I HATE that cover

 

[VoR]

The cover is iconically terrible.

Grab a whisk, melt some chocolate in a bowl and start feeling your oats and your Cadbury's to Rhythm of My Life before coming out with such hate again please.

 

[Joseph]

Apple just suggested this to me

 

[SystemAddict]

I also hated that @Martha Skidd tribute so much that I used the barely preferable inlay as a cover instead.

 

[Kala]

Did we know about the existence of this? It was released early 1996 in Japan before it was remixed by Motiv8. Interesting version!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I note they've finally popped the deluxe version on Spotify

I see minor bop Tonight's The Night is on streaming too with a load of remixes. The Moto Blanco take is as excellent as you'd expect.

I may be mistaken, but that's be online a while now.

Either way a little bit more is always appreciated.

Possibly, I've only ever had a dodgy CD single rip of it before. It has a release date of March 1997, but I'm going to let that slide.

I wonder who's living in her infamous London flat now that Robotboy has long since moved out and on.

I'm not sure she'd necessarily have property in London anymore, seeing as she moved to LA with her rich husband and disappeared entirely.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've lost too long trying to track her down, but the trail goes cold in about 2017.

And did she EVER replace his sofa.

 

[straightorbroken]

She remarried. Another millionaire.

The new ballad is better than Missing You Like Crazy, but I'm not crazy about it either. To think she turned down Cher's Runaway to record either.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Just discovered this pre Ooh Aah track exists

 

[straightorbroken]

I didn't know at this time she was Geena Gee. I mean gee whizz G. If I knew it was re-released in '96 I'd forgotten it.

Her former writing partner has been unleashing some unreleased gems. Weirdly, before doing this he promised me he would send the original Metro version of Get Up & Dance (which they recorded for a movie), and whilst that is very nifty, this is the song I'm foaming down under for.

Hold Me:
