The Ring is a disco ensemble from producer/arranger Marcus Barone and includes Holly Oas, Jimmy Young and Russell Blake. Their 1979 single “Savage Lover” is one of the underground dance tracks of its time and gives The Ring an awaited return with this project by the same title. “Hollywood” is a single from the project which glorifies tinsel town and the fame and fortune it can bring to those who dream of stardom. It plays out as a fast moving bass and piano foundation which lays down the chorus which outlines the mood and dedication to becoming one of the figures on the screen who make this place ring on and on.
I have taken the 12” version of “Hollywood” and placed it into the ReStructure Mix realm and worked to make this one a bit more outlined for its duties. A new rhythm track pounds out pieces of the excitement and promise that “Hollywood” has been known for since its existence. This arrangement has fun with parodies and makes a message a bit more fun.
