ALONE - KIM SOZZI
Just as D.H.T.’s 2005 high-energy cover of Roxette’s “Listen to Your Heart” went exactly where you expected it to — refashioning a beloved downtempo retro hit into an anthemic thumper — established dance artist Kim Sozzi’s remake of Heart’s “Alone” works the 1987 No. 1 power ballad into a frenzied workout mantra. It’s hard to go wrong with this Billy Steinberg/Tom Kelly classic, and Sozzi does justice with her robust pipes and emotional reading. Playing it safe, Ultra has also serviced a Candlelight remix. Top 40 could have more fun with the dance version, given the summer season’s proclivity for rhythm, but either way, “Alone” is an ideal candidate for renewed glory.
