ReStructure Mix Update (6/11/23): “She’s Heavy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – V.I.S.A.

V.I.S.A. is an Italian disco project from producers Angelo & Felix Piccarreda (Passengers, Nuggets) and arranged and directed by Mr. Celso Valli. The production here is once again majestic thanks to the talent of Mr. Valli and his layering of strings, horns and percussion. His work here stands out with a few familiar riffs but most sounding fresh and groovy. “She’s Heavy” is a cut from the 1979 project “San Francisco” and lends the chorus a stage to frame a woman who brings the floor energy with her presence. The soulful and tendered vocal is the magic of V.I.S.A. and unites that theory that is “disco” music is soul music with a bow tie.

I have taken the album version of “She’s Heavy” and gave this piece a new drum foundation to pounce its new energy for this ReStructure Mix. The existing percussion is placed in layers over a new arrangement and eventual ghostly fade.
