Debbie Harry is an 80’s icon who covered the music scene in her own way beginning with her big disco hit from 1978, “Heart Of Glass”. Although Harry’s voice was appropriate for those new-wave and rock edged tracks her voice also flowed like a disco chanteuse in a lovely manner. “Sweet and Low” is a single from her 1989 project “Def, Dumb and Blonde” – produced by Arthur Baker. The song is a melodic trip into a love fantasy where no matter what occurs around it cannot interfere with the lure of this love. It is perhaps one of the most lyrical since “Heart Of Glass” in a vocal delivery from Harry. It is now an underground classic and one that should not have anything shoveled over it.
I have taken the 12’ versions of “Sweet and Low” and reignited this ‘sweet’ piece again for a ReStructure Mix. The heavy bass tracks were what have always caught my ear and the flowing of Debbie and her beautiful vocal are rearranged this time around.
