Hands down my favourite Shania song. You can't knock the original, but I absolutely adore this dance mix we got. Mad how it was released over 2 years later in the UK after the US.

:netext: 1. All Saints - Pure Shores

 

Following in the footsteps of Never Ever, Under The Bridge and Bootie Call, All Saints took residence at the top of the Official Singles Chart for a fourth time this week in 2000 with Pure Shores.

 

Leonardo DiCaprio was still the man of the moment even back then, starring in huge movie The Beach, based on a bestselling book about a group of backpackers who live on an idyllic, hidden beach, and have plenty of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Pure Shores was selected to appear on the soundtrack, and its place in pop history was assured.

 

It also didn’t hurt that another man of the moment was on production duties. William Orbit, who enjoyed huge success when he worked with Madonna on her Ray Of Light comeback album, added his magic touches to Shaznay’s haunting lyrics and the band’s perfect melodies.

 

But never mind the men of the moment, All Saints’ success was all down to them. The lead single from the group’s second album Saints And Sinners, Pure Shores spent two weeks at Number 1 before it was deposed by another William Orbit production. Also taken from a movie soundtrack, Madonna’s American Pie was the only one powerful to shift All Saints off the top. There is an old rumour that Madge was pretty peeved she hadn’t got to record Pure Shores herself – rightly so, as it is fantastic – so perhaps this was her way of exacting revenge.

Love 'Rise'. One of Gabrielle's best and an excellent #1 too of course, can never get bored of 'Pure Shores'. What a fantastic track :heart:

 

Also liked how Gary mentioned all the movements etc too!

Skipping all of Daphne & Celeste, Rebecca Wheatley, Britney and Aqua was truly a choice :mellow:
