I heard a version of "Listen to Your Heart" on AC radio today that had no drums; I was wondering if this was Roxette's "AC mix" on promo 45s, but the descriptions I see in this chatboard say that the elec guitar is replaced with a sax in the AC mix. No mention of drums being gone. So I doubt this is that. Then I wondered if I could possibly be hearing a version by D.H.T. - I see the database has an "unplugged version" listed. But the voice I heard sounds so much like the girl from Roxette that I doubt what I heard could be anything but Roxette. Does anyone know of a no-drum Roxette mix that AC stations play? Or does the girl from D.H.T. sound extremely like Roxette (at least on the unplugged version)?

I have 2 different versions of this song from D.H.T. One is labeled the Edmee's Unplugged Vocal Edit, a ballad, while the other is labeled the Furious F. EZ Radio Edit, which is a very upbeat, techno sounding version.

Did the uptempo version receive any airplay on top 40 radio? I seem to recall the unplugged version being the radio hit.

Our station played the upbeat version as a current, substituted the ballad once it went into gold rotation.
The two singers sound very much alike (even the arrangements are similar on the ballad version)...it can be easy to confuse them.

Gordon,
if it helps, i remembered hearing this on our local hot-AC station in NH a few years back. I checked my folder and i labeled the version "unplugged vocal edit" ..i assume that's how rhapsody listed it.
But yes, it's pretty much just acoustic ballad version, no drums, and i'll agree her voice is very similar to the Roxette singer. -MM
