I like that remix for Be Without You. Mary's dance remixes are as good as Mariah's imo.

Gaelle - Rain (2004)

I don't know if you've heard them before, Peggy, but Gaelle had an unreleased EP from the 90's titled The Envelope and her former producer posted a few of the tracks on YouTube:

Ghost in the Machine - www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2MKMAxqtr4

Natural Mystic (Bob Marley cover) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz9T09fYAHU

Girl, please. Wendy is too self-conscious and self-absorbed to even enjoy herself in the lounge. And the music would be too "weird" for Jersey girl Wendy. Haha

Love UK Soul! You're my kind of R&B fan; you like the mainstream music but are very welcoming to the indie artists, Brava, rmcrae_deluxe!

Thanks, Peggy. I really have Samantha James to thank for broadening my taste in music. She was the first indie artist I discovered and through her I found other under the radar singers from deep house, trip hop, downtempo and many other genres I was unfamiliar with before. I've been ridin' with Ms. Benson from day 1 though. Like Gaelle said in an interview once, it never hurts to "dig in the crates" and check out stuff the mainstream has on ignore.

Girl, Andreya Triana is someone I haven't thought of in eons. Thanks for posting that song and jogging my memory. I've got another UK soul singer for ya....
