You read right.JJ has remade the classic electro/freestyle hit "lookout weekend" by Debbie Deb.It will be on her upcoming album and it is produced by Pretty Tony who was responsible for the original recording as well.No plans to release it as a single yet but I was in the club sun night and in the middle of non-stop house, they threw it in and the crowd absolutely loved it.Surprise,surprise....freestyle is weeding its way back into the mainstream.
 
I certainly hope this doesn't surprise many people here on the board. Look at it this way: pop has been moving back to an 80's sound for a while now. Just listen to anything off of Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. or the most recent Missy Elliott single. It shouldn't be news to anyone that freestyle is starting to make a comeback!
 
And then there's Rihanna's "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)" which samples Soft Cell's "Tainted Love", and James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" which could have passed as Chris DeBurgh's follow-up single to "The Lady In Red". YES - '80s pop is still very prominent in pop and dance music today - a quarter of a century later.When my web site was 'Pure Dance' I did a lengthy report on all of the '80s hits that were remade into trance and techno tunes during the early part of this decade. I'll try to dig that up out of the archives one of these days and post portions of it on here.THE MAJOR
