Continuing the run of single releases from Paul Oakenfold‘s recent album, we present a cover of what is arguably the biggest electronic vocal record of all time “Touch Me.“ Originally by Rui Da Silva & Cass Fox and released in the early 2000’s the new adaptation by Paul Oakenfold took things in a more Deep House direction.
Paul Oakenfol says
“If ever there was a timeless vocal classic to cover it’s “Touch Me” by Rui Da Silva and Cassandra Fox. Originally released in 2001 this was a number 1 hit in numerous countries around the world including the UK top 40. I adore this record. The lyrics and vocals are so perfect that when it came to make the cover version I knew two things had to happen – firstly we had to try and get Cass to re-sing the vocals (part of the rules of making a cover means you can’t use any audio from the original composition – everything needs to be remade or replayed) and secondly I wanted this to be a really stripped back almost chill out track so that the vocals had loads of room to breathe and take center stage. I love how this turned out and I was so excited that Cass got really involved when she came in to re-sing her vocals. It’s a completely fresh, exciting and emotionally charged take on the original record and I love it. “
The Deep House interpretation with Marcellus Wallace is cool! Watch the video below.
