ReStructure Mix Update (3/24/25):”Whirlpool” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Edwin Starr


Edwin Starr is a soul/disco singer who began his recording career in 1968. His voice is one that is recognizable for its power and emotion and he gives his own “soul” in each song. “Whirlpool” is a single from his 1980 project “Stronger Than You Think I Am” - produced by Edwin. The track is a teasing number of an attraction and the pulasting effect it has on emotion. Outlined as going round in circles due to the outcome of a dramatic outcome. The production is in the 70’s tradition complete with horns and an opportunity for Edwin to tell his story again with the extent of his masterful voice.

I have taken the 12” version of “Whirlpool” and devised a new version for this ReStructure Mix. Shaving off the intro titled “Get Up”  and making “Whirlpool” the center of attention here. Layering gives off pieces of a new arrangement which allows a few breaks along the way.
