SHAUNA SOLOMON
"YOU CAN GET OVER" – RALPHI ROSARIO MIXES
RESIDENTADVISOR.COM AUSTRALIA
Shauna Solomon is a name that has become synonymous with house music throughout
the years. Take her latest production, "You Can Get Over", throw in Chicago
legend Ralph Rosario on the remix duties, and you have two of the finest house
music pioneers who sound as fresh today as when the genre was first taking shape
many years ago.
Side A features Rosario’s "Vox Club Dub". This track highlights Solomon’s diva
vocals, focusing on the theme of overcoming bad relationships. With Rosario’s
signature sounds such as big room horns thrown over a throbbing bass line, the
remix is house music with a definitive progressive edge to it.
The flipside offers a dub version with less emphasis on the vocals. Yet, while
Solomon’s voice is still present, the "Big Room Dub" focuses more intently on
the instruments, with the tribal drums and thick bass taking precedence. While
both sides are excellent choices to keep a full room dancing, the dub version
finds Rosario bringing it home in his well-known Chicago style.
Undoubtedly, throwing two house music icons such as Shauna Solomon and Ralph
Rosario together is bound to please any old school house fanatic. However, what
"You Can Get Over" achieves is not only pleasuring the ears of the house music
loyalists, but appealing to many cross-over DJ’s as well, which is what any
track as good as this one is bound to do.

SHAUNA SOLOMON
"YOU CAN GET OVER"
BOI Magazine Chicago
Chicago’s Ralphi Rosario strikes again with a
fantastic slice n’ dice of Shauna Solomon’s new single "You Can Get Over" on
Harlequin Records. This limited edition release proves that remixer Rosario is
at the top of his game with Solomon’s diva-esque vocals over Ralphi’s bangin’
music. Fierce buildups and snappy synthesizer lines ring up a big win for this
release. This dub is equally as powerful with slightly deeper edge. One word –
"HOT"
