ReStructure Mix Update (7/26/15) “Flashdance…What A Feeling” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Irene Cara

Irene Cara is an actress, singer and songwriter whose early career includes the original Dreamgirls inspiration – the 1976 film “Sparkle – which featured music from Curtis Mayfield. Irene burst back into the music scene in 1980 with the soundtrack to the film “Fame”. This put her back into a standing which gave dance music a promise of a whole new era. Her title track to the 1983 romantic-drama, “Flashdance” brought dance floors to the brink of a celebration and new respect for the dance/disco anthem. Produced by Giorgio Moroder and also bringing a new sound and audience for the time.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental to create a whole new ReStructure Mix and exaggerating on the keyboard drama as well as this soul lift. Much of the arrangement is placed in a new grouping to give the so-familiar piece a new sound. It is one which I have always remained true to and brings memories of an ecstatic dance crowd!
