Todo Me Recuerda a Ti - duet with Sheena Easton (2022 re-recording)

In the mid-80s Sheena Easton, while riding a huge wave of commercial success, took time out of her busy schedule to learn Spanish - phonetically - and re-record several of her biggest English-language hits for the Latin America market on EMI. As most were only familiar with hearing her awesome Scottish accent speaking English, this was a surprising move but also a very successful one as the album produced a Grammy winning song in a duet with a then-very-young (15) year old teen singer named Luis Miguel with their hit "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres". (a song which did not have an English counterpart, incidentally). I received a copy of the album for my birthday that year from Sheena's then-management-secretary Andi Stevens, who knew how big a fan I was of Sheena's. Also not speaking Spanish in any sort of understandable way, I was immediately struck how the beauty of the language enhanced the songs I already knew; notably on the tile track which was the Spanish version of Sheena's previous hit "Almost Over You". There is a recording on my SoundCloud of the single one time I did this resulting duet live, at a karaoke show in the early 90s, which alternates between English & Spanish phrases & verses. Now, all these years later, I decided to do a proper studio based recording of the vocal, and this is the 2022 version, with a small alteration at the end which fans of the original song by Sheena will recognize immediately as a change. I was pleased with the way this turned out and after all these years, actually know what some of the phrases mean ;-) Here is "Todo Me Recuerda a Ti" ("Everything Reminds Me of You", aka "Almost Over You" with Sheena's lead vocal and my dubbed duet voice. I hope you will enjoy this.
