Leana - Faith (CD single) [music review]

Leana, a relative newcomer to the dance music scene, has taken little time to make her presence felt.

Faith, her second single from her album "Faith In Myself" which was released in 2006, is an amazing dance track, with remixes by Stonebridge and Lenny B. She unleashed the track at Winter Music Conference 2006 with a live performance.

My personal favorite remix is the Stonebridge Big Dub. It takes the original and filters out some of the vocals and brings the energy up to make it a great peak hour club cut. The Lenny B. Faithful Club Mix is also great. Keeping the original vocal track and bringing a bouncy beat and modern disco feel.

Her first single, Dance With A Stranger, was nominated for an IDMA in 2006 for Best HiNRG / Euro Track. She was in great company with that nomination as the winner that year was The Other Side by Paul Van Dyk.

Faith and Dance With A Stranger, as well as her full-length debut album, "Faith In Myself", are all available on Itunes and other fine online music retailers. Please check out her personal website, and her record label site, Swedish Diva Records, as linked below.
