REISSUE: "Are You Ready” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Billy Ocean
Billy Ocean is a voice from the 80s which is fitting in both dance music and adult contemporary genres. His voice is a gentle and yearning effect which always brings each of his songs to a new level of emotion. In his years of taking dance floors by storm which began with his 1980 album “City Lights” there was a mature groove being set for a sophisticated dance floor. “Are You Ready” is a single which was produced by Ken Gold has the finesse that Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” from 1982 resembled. This piece is the funk of the 80s with a flawless production which displays a great memory in time and another to appreciate this great artist.
I have taken the US 12” of “Are You Ready” and recreated a new dance step and answer for the question. A sample from an obvious Italo-disco classic is inserted as a teaser and play on this ReStructure Mix. The outline is set for a trip back to the early 80s with more of the excitement that is created for those of us who were there.
