Free Download: Eurythmics - Love Is a Stranger (Crome Remix)
The 1982 Eurythmics single Love Is a Stranger is, to us, is a true display in excellence. The lyrics read like poetry, the music is restrained yet airy and melodic, the production (at the time) is new meets classical. The video is equally superb with its claustrophobic feel and amazing play with different characters. Annie Lennox vocals are simply perfection and her storytelling is out of this world (as always). Shockingly it didn't fare so well on the charts - reaching #54 in their native UK. However, a re-release hit #6 after their next single Sweet Dream (Are Made of This) became a world smash in 1983. German DJ Crome builds on the original production and we're wild for the extended intro (so classic 12"!) and powerful groove with that deeper bassline! Damn hot! Go grab it below and shake your money maker all night. Enjoy! PS. A lil' side note is that the song recording was a self-financed affair at Annie and Dave's 8-track studio in Chalk Farm, London. Too cool!
