Released 10^th January 2005

An unrivalled year as the biggest crowd pleasing, floor filling tune, is finally here - the vocal version of 'Strings Of Life'. Performed for the first time at last week's House Music Awards to a rapturous reception. Kathy Brown delivers a stunning vocal performance with 'Stronger On My Own' which sits like it had always been featured on the track.

This was not an easy decision to add a vocal on such a revered classic, but the vocal was written by Tim Soul Central and we feel it's a stunning song that fits perfectly on this cut.

A huge priority for Defected, united in the belief that this is a No 1 National Chart Hit. You are going to have your opinions, it would be impossible not to. This new version is going to get people talking. You won't be able to ignore the debate.

It's been over 15 years since Derrick May transmit original inspired a generation of clubbers and now "Strings Of Life" is back, this time with an awesome new vocal delivered in style by one of music's most rated divas - Kathy Brown.

Soul Heaven residents DJ Andy Ward and Paul Timothy (Wikka Men) aka Soul Central. It was this duo that brought us their original "Strings Of Life" remix which has been responsible for re-introducing this classic to a new generation of clubbers.

Kathy Brown has established herself as one of house music's most prolific vocalists. She has written and performed on a string of club classics including "Love Is Not A Game", "Give It Up", "You Give Good Love" and "Don't Give Up" as well as co-writing Gloria Gaynors' "Got To Be Forever" and recently released "Never Again" on Defected. The label insist there couldn't have been a better vocal to one of house music's most definitive anthems.

It's just as powerful, earth moving synths pierce jaded memories of years gone by as once again this revamped piano filled anthem demands some hands-in-the-air action. Kathy's gorgeous vocals and the Soul Central filtered beats on this funky disco house classic, can just loop and loop on this system.
