Reflection - Mickey B.




It's very fitting that a person with the name Mickey would cover a Disney song. And that is exactly the name of the person who brings us today's cover!

MICKEY B. is a Eurobeat artist who has been making music over the last decade. He has provided many tracks for the various EUROBEAT DISNEY albums over the years with this friends. This version of Mulan's Reflection can be found on EUROBEAT DISNEY 2 which was released in 2001.

The Eurobeat circle is a small one and often the artists work together to make the tracks perfect. Mickey B. has collaborated with other Eurobeat artists such as Domino, Matt Land, A-Beat-C and Spiders From Mars.

Even if you are not a fan of Eurobeat, you have to admit that this techno version of Reflection is better than any of the Christina Aguilera remixes out there.

  Mickey and Minnie on a Moonlit Night - Matt Land
I've been trying to decide if I want to only post Disney songs from the movies and the parks or do I want to branch out to include other areas of Disney music, such as Walt Disney Records and CDs. I could power this blog just with songs from the features, there are a lot of them and even more covers, after all. But I think I will step out and share with you a cover of a song that was released on a Disney album but not featured in a movie. And this being Obscure Disney Song Friday makes this entry apropos.

In 1987, Disneyland Records released a record of original songs featuring their popular characters all written in the popular bebop/oldies style of the 50s. The record was a hit, especially since Little Richard was featured on one of the tracks.

My favourite track on the album is a do-op song called Mickey and Minnie on a Moonlit Night. And I was quite surprised to hear this track covered on EUROBEAT DISNEY 2. The song is covered by Italian singer/actor MATT LAND who is very popular in the Eurobeat scene. Land is on the Eurobeat label A-Beat C and has contributed his voice to many projects.

Although I am not a big techno or Eurobeat fan, I think this song is treated with respect of the original and does a good job of keeping it tender even with the underlying frantic techno beat. Check out this track and let me know what you think.
