ReStructure Mix Update (8/13/23): “Reflections” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Evelyn Thomas

Evelyn Thomas is “high energy” music’s fuse which set the 80’s dance floor on to a new trajectory. Her big 1984 anthem “High Energy” was the official song to outline the new sound. In 1985 she released her high energy cover of The Supremes 1967 hit “Reflections” – and done with the vocals displaying energy and lasting resonance. This one produced by Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench is a disco masterpiece of electronic pulses and the original injected psychedelic edge updated appropriately. The synthetic orchestra here strikes over and over as Ms. Thomas gives us a helping of her magic over and over again. One of my all-time favorites.

I have taken the 12” version of Evelyn Thomas’ “Reflections” and reworked the breaks into a new outline for this ReStructure Mix. The slow movement from the original intro is utilized here for a new arrangement and a play on some of Evelyn’s vocal are added.
