Free Music Notes for Desert Rose / Brand New Day

Free Music Review: Victor Calderone's Mix Is Absolutely Flawless!.
Hit: 5 Stars

''Brand New Day'' is a great song too-- but it's definitely ''Desert Rose'' you're looking out for, I guess.

Seeing that the collaborations with foreign vocalist Cheb Mami and with producer Victor Calderone make it one hell of a great song, dance or not...It's flawless. As well as the video was definitely one of the hottest videos that made a great intro for the year 2000 along with J Lo's ''Waiting For Tonight''.

This song definitely showcases a strong Arabic sort of North African/Eastern influence. The Album version is great but it is definitely Victor Calderone's ''Melodic Club Mix'' that got the song running N'1 on the Billboard\Dance Charts. It begins with a dramatic and wispy drum influenced entrance for the song, as it gradually work it's way through, while the beats become more prominent as Cheb Mami's perfect chanting kicks in, the song then takes it's time to work it's way to Sting's first verse, his voice also sounds very deep on this track. Soon after the vocals take a back seat, the violin strings make a great contribution to the song as it turns into a effect that builds up to Sting's determined and stirring vocals again. EXCELLENT MIX!!.

This is one of Victor Calderone's most flawless mixes ever-- along with the excellent drum mix he did for Madonna's ''Ray Of Light''.

I recommend Madonna's ''Ray Of Light (CD Single)'' in addition to this, if you liked Calderone's mix of ''Desert Rose'', then I'm absolutely positive that you'll like the mix he did for Madonna with ''Ray Of Light'' as it is something similar to this but strip away the eastern formula and add a tribal formula instead.

Enjoy!
