This review is from: Desert Rose / Brand New Day (Audio CD)

First time i've heard the original version, i knew it's gonna be one of Sting's best ever Single so far. Finally it came out as Single and remixes are so coooool...Thanks to Victor Calderone again for putting his effort again to remix these single. Anyway, you should listen to full version and the Club Melodic mix instead, where else the remixes version of Brand New Day are more likely similar to the album itself. One thing that I bought these single is not only for Sting cause plus that great voice of Cheb Mami who's singing as background vocal. I did saw both performing these song at the 42nd Grammy Award & they were so greaaattt..

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright., September 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Desert Rose / Brand New Day (Audio CD)

I loved Sting's collaboration with Cheb Mami, "Desert Rose," and think that it is a very beautiful, moving and inspired song. But I was a little disappointed by this single CD. First, you don't get the complete version of the original Desert Rose song, only the edited Radio version and the Melodic Club Mix just goes for banging, techno sound and loses the feeling, the essence of the original song. There's also two versions of Brand New Day which I don't get because this is the CD single for DESERT ROSE, not brand new day. The cover even says "Featuring Cheb Mami" but instead of getting a few more versions as in the single for Santana's "Maria Maria," we just get a radio edit and a radio edit club Mix. Aside from that, Desert Rose is a great song, if you want the complete version, get the "Brand New Day" album.

Sting has definetly reached another level with this single and he succeds in helping his audience reach the same amazing level. Not only is the music amazing the words are incrediable. And Cheb Mami has by far the best middle eastern voice I have ever heard!
