After "Castles In the Sky" was released, I was highly anticipating Ian's follow-up to his smash-hit debut. Well I must say, I was definitely not let down! This song may become way bigger than "Castles...". The one thing that really impressed me about his first single was the quality of the remixes. "Will I" has the same outstanding quality, and then some. You just cannot beat remixes by well-known talent like Lange, Pulsedriver(remixed Fragma's "Everytime U Need Me" and DJ Encore's "I See Right Through to You"), Dee Dee("Forever"), and Peter Luts(who had the hottest remixes of "Castles..."). The remixes are all lengthy, so you really get what you pay for. This track has the same style of heavenly vocals, sweet lyrics, awesome synth-efx & beats, and great buildups/breakdowns. Just like his previous track, it's a trance or dance lover's dream! This is an excellent pickup for DJs. I highly recommend this single to anyone that likes Fragma, Astroline("Close My Eyes"), Milk Inc.("Walk On Water"), Sylver("Turn the Tide"), or iio("Rapture"). Once you hear it, there should be no question of "Will I" buy it? If my review was helpful to you, then don't forget to vote. THANKS!

In these times, when mainstream American pop culture is dominated with sadistic hip-hop, and monotonous tones of alternative indie-rock...The European scene is something so refreshing delivering a sense of refined energy, euphoria and yet a blissful journey into what the "future of electronic dance music is supposed to be". TRANCE in its various forms has evolved as one of the most profound genres of underground dance music. Notably "progressive/epic" trance has evolved into various acts, from the pioneers such as Ferry Corsten(aka System F),Paul Van Dyk,Dj Tiesto,Armin Van Buuren,and Lange..to its predecessors combining pop and trance such as Alice Deejay, and Fragma. One of the most remarkable acts to evolve from Belgium is Ian Van Dahl. The vocals on this particular track, "Will I?" are from Annemie Coenen, which truly sends the listner in a state of eternal bliss. The US version is definitely worth your buy, since it contains 10 tracks(notably the 'Kool De Sac Remix' which is only available on the US version) instead of the 7 tracks on the Australian import. The tracks on the US version are:
1.Dee Radio Edit
2.Radio Edit
3.Extended Mix
4.Dee Dee Remix
5.Hemstock & Jennings Remix
6.Lange Remix
7.Coast To Coast Remix
8.Pulsedriver Remix
9.Peter Luts Remix
10.Kool De Sac Remix
The CD lasts approximately 70 minutes! Every mix is as solid, as refined as it can be. My personal favorites are the Lange Remix,and the Coast To Coast Remix. The 'Lange Remix' has a sort of melodic epic feel, a certain balaeric vibe which fills your heart with elation, and the 'Coast To Coast Remix' is sort of an uplifting, pulsating rhythm, with beautiful drum and synth sequences that will make you dance thru the night,as if at a rave...
To sum it up, this CD is definitely worth it, if you're in search of something truly refined with ecstatic energy, and beatiful vocals that put your heart and soul into another world!

In summary, like other reviewers have said, if you like Ian van Dahl, you'll love this disk. The song is along the same lines as "Castles", but more uplifting and romantic. (Not that "Castles" was bad! They are just two different songs.) If you're not reallt familar with IVD, then you might want check a clip of the song out before you buy, just to make it sure it's something you like.

Assuming you do, it's the ten remixes of "Will I?"on this CD that make it really worth it. (And, hey, it's ...[a good price for 70 minutes of music.) Like the remixes on "Castles", they are all like six, seven or eight minutes and are very well done. I like the Dee Dee Remix and the Kool de Sac remix the best. But there is something here for everyone, so you really can't go wrong.

Assuming that you like to hear different remixes of the same song, and don't expect 10 completely different songs, this is a great CD for eurodance fans.

THIS IS A GREAT SONG! IT AINT AS GOOD AS 'CASTLES' BUT IT IS STILL AWSOME! THE BEST TRACK IS THE 'DEE DEE RADIO MIX'! ALSO BE SURE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE NEXT SINGLE 'REASON' WHICH IS LIKE THE BEST SONG YET! ALSO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THEIR DEBUT ALBUM 'ACE' IN STORES MAY 21, 2002

If you like dance music, this is a definite CD to get. There are lots of mixes, unlike the other CD single that's available, this one offers 10 mixes to choose from! The song is upbeat like "Castles In The Sky", and is a great follow-up for Ian Van Dahl.

In short, this is one hot dance tune. I can gurantee this will be the top early summer track across the country. Especially the circuit and club scene. HOT ..crank it and start dancin'

Great mixes of a GREAT SONG! Track #1 is my favorite though and now I have played it out, now on to track #2!!!

One of the most beautiful melodic uplicting trance vocals ever,heard, and plus you get 10 different mixes...Definitely your money's worth!

Ian Van Dahl does probably not appeal to real trance/hard house fans. Their work is very "pop" but as a tune to listen to it is very nice. If you are a fan of Vocal House/Trance I think you will like this track. This is top 10 material, and the ten remixes should keep the real clubbers happy! After "Castles In the Sky" was released, everybody was looking forward to a follow up for this smash hit. They didn't dissappoint! This new track has a lot of potential and can certainly compete with the previous song. The lyrics are maybe not so strong, but the music is terrific.

If you wanna hear some awesome synth effects & beats, and great buildups/breakdowns, go ahead and check this maxi-single out.

I love this CD. The original version of 'Will I' is really good. The remixes on this album are also really great. I especially like the Voodoo and Serrano mix. I own Ian Van Dahl's CD 'Ace.' I would give it 4/5 stars. No matter how good everyone thinks 'Will I' is, it just isn't as good as 'Castles In The Sky'(my absolute favorite song of all time).
