"Idina delivers the voice and the remixes in this massive club single--an adapted solo version of a song from the play Wicked! Would be great to get an all new full length album from Idina. Tracks:



1. Tracy Young's Flying Monkey Club mix (8:05) (very circuity tribal mix)

2. Eddie Baez mix (8:42) (Eddie does his great dark hardhouse magic)

3. Hani's Flying So High Club mix (7:04) (funky disco house mix--but it's more like a dub with few of Idina's vocals)

4. Josh Harris mix (7:15) (more of an electro/filter house feel)

5. Funky Junction & Antony Reale mix (6:20) (real smooth, commercial house mix, best suits the vocals)

6. Single Version (3:47) (While I'm ALL about dance mixes, I must say, the pure arrangement of the original guitar ballad version shows off her stunning vocals--this is just an amazing, uplifting power ballad, and hearing the original version, I realize that NONE of the remixes do the song justice)"

Powerful voice now in dance mix

"The lovely lady from Long Island with the powerful voice and electric personality is well represented with these remixed tracks of her showstopping song from WICKED, "Defying Gravity." Personally, I like Track 5 and the single version on Track 6 the best in this collection, but they're all enjoyable."
