Veronica Sales - In the Heat of the Night
Amazing Diva-like vocals by Karen Jane Wainwright.
The opening vocals are amazing and it has that eurodance/eurohouse feel to is, with splashes of eurobeat here and there.
I'm in love with the instruments used on this one, in particular the eurohouse pianos heard mostly in the chorus and breakdown/bridge, and the bells used just before the chorus, and after each couple of bars on the opening verses and bridge as well, which give it that 80's bell synth sound similarily used in many 80's freestyle songs, including in the chorus of "Sharon - Let the Music Play" and in some songs by "Noel."
I've always found Karen to be mysterious, since I don't know what she really looks like in real life. I am not sure if the cover photo on the vinyl for this song is actually her or not, as I cannot find out from anywhere else.
I wish Giancarlo could return to this beautiful style, when I think Karen and Dave were at their best, where you could still here the different layers of the instruments used, compared to what we have today which sounds like one big loud mess...
