Hazell Dean - They Say It's Gonna Rain 2011

First released in 1985, this song was a hi-nrg classic. It has seen numerous remixes and covers since its initial release. This has been remixed for 2011 by the Klub Kidz, Glamma, Sleazesisters, and PMG. The Klub Kidz mix is in a very simple electro/pop style. The Glamma mixes are bit more Eurodance-sounding with a little electro. The Sleazesisters mix is in a similar vein, but a little funkier. PMG's two mixes are housier, especially the Cats & Dogs mix. That one has a Freemasons, 7th Heaven, Nu Addiction type of sound to it. It is the best of the bunch. All of the versions are good, but only the PMG Cats & Dogs mix is the standout.
