ReStructure Mix Update (10/24/17) "My Hearts Divided” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Shannon




Shannon (Brenda Shannon Greene) is a name that was embedded into disco history in 1983 when her hit, “Let The Music Play” introduced a new sound for dance floors. It was a funk drizzled with pulsating electro-vibes along with the sweet sound of Shannon. Producers Mark Liggett and Chris Barbosa were capturing the new street sound with a coat of electronic magic. “My Hearts Divided” is from the album “Let The Music Play” and echoes the infectious sound that is known as “The Shannon Sound”. This tug a war love song is a powerful moment in a relationship where the decision to stay or leave is given a funky alternative. One of the great follow up tracks by Shannon and a definite classic.

I have taken the original 12” version and created a ReStructure Mix using parts and pieces of genius from Barbosa and Liggett to outline an extended version with more emphasize on words and sounds. It is truly a wonderland for anyone who may desire this 80s street sound or those who may wonder what was going on at the time.
