ReStructure Mix Update (5/26/21) “Jealous Love” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hazell Dean

ReStructure Mix Update (5/26/21) “Jealous Love” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hazell Dean

Hazell Dean is another voice in the early 80’s who brought high energy music to the board. Her 1983 dance floor hit “Searchin’ (I Gotta Find A Man)” was a contribution to that period of dance music and helped make the transition a welcomed moment. Hazell had been recording since 1975 and made her move onto dance floors seem somewhat effortless – but there is plenty of talent behind this woman. “Jealous Love” is her single from 1983 produced by Willi Morrison and Ian Guenther – who were responsible for THP Orchestra, The Grand Tour, The Duncan Sisters, Southern Comfort and Sticky Fingers. This was also their moment to transition from their big band disco productions of the 70’s into the electronic high energy sound of the 80’s. “Jealous Love” is a last-chance for romance for a lover who makes every opportunity for drama. The sequencers and percolating keyboard effects make this one a flowing number with enough of the diva to make us connect to its force.

I have taken the 12” version of “Jealous Love” and reworked the track with more of a dub-feel for this ReStructure Mix. There is a new under beat to kick up the drama and of course the sequencers working again, overtime!
