Ralf GUM ft Monique Bingham - Claudette (Terry Hunter Mixes) [GoGo Music]

"Claudette" is one of the outstanding cuts from Ralf's album "Progressions", paying tribute to Claudette Colvin whose act of civil disobedience was the forerunner to more celebrated examples that were to follow. This is a wonderful track with melodic vibes, intelligent, thought provoking lyrics and emotionally charged vocals delivered with Monique's distinctive, passionate voice. Terry's interpretations are quite a departure from the original album mix; the tempo feels more compelling for the floor and the new keyboard arrangement is simply stunning. There are seven versions in all with clean options for radio play, an instrumental and an exceptional piano dominated dub with a throbbing sub bass that takes the roof off. It doesn't get much better than this!
