What's Going On [Single]

In 1985, "We Are the World" sold 4 million singles and 3 million albums with an inclusiveness that allowed Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers, and Cyndi Lauper to share space on the same charity anthem. Another African crisis 16 years later--the spread of AIDS across the continent--and the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks prompt this well-meaning remake of Marvin Gaye's 1971 Vietnam-era protest. Rather than the pop unity of the earlier record, however, this 48-minute EP breaks down into nine separate mixes and mix-and-match rosters aimed at different radio and club formats. After all, global village or not, Bono, Nelly, Jennifer Lopez, Scott Weiland, and Moby couldn't possibly coexist for four minutes, right? (Hearing Michael Stipe ride Jermaine Dupri's pop/hip-hop track for even a line raises intriguing possibilities for the R.E.M. singer.) The record's handful of lyric substitutions are clumsy, with "Picket lines won't block our way" forcing the listener to ponder just who's protesting in favor of the disease. But coexecutive producer Bono's political sharpness continues to be on point.

New Year's Dub [Single]

Debut single for UK dance duo Musique features their unique take on U2's classic hit 'New Year's Day', which impressed the Irish rocker's so much they approved it. The pair is made up of Nick Hanson & Moussa Clarke (aka Moose), who produced the track & is best known for the infamous slamming hard house track 'Choose Life', which sampled Ewan McGregor's opening speech from the cult film Trainspotting, & for his massive UK radio hit remix of Tzant's 'Sounds Of The Wickedness'. The Edge's famous guitar line from 'New Year's Day' is sampled here with Barney C.'s vocals layered over it & Musique's hooky beats. This import disc contains three mixes of the cut, the shortest of which is eight minutes plus & the longest clocking in at over 11 minutes! Tracks, 'New Year's Dub' (7' Radio Edit, Mauro Picotto Club Mix & Hybrid Remix). Slimline jewel case. 2001 release.
