D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better (GBX & Sparkos Remix)

Remixed with additional vocals from Anastasia Derkach with proceeds going to support the displacement of Ukrainian refugees.

Original 90s Version

Scots dance icon George Bowie – aka GBX – and long-term production partner Sparkos have teamed up with legends D:Ream to release a special Ukrainian refugee charity version of 90s smash hit Things Can Only Get Better.

 

The pair recruited Ukrainian singer Anastasia Derkach to help transform the anthem into a duet, with Anastasia recording her vocal at home in Kyiv before Geo and Marc worked their magic at their Glasgow studio.

 

George and Sparkos – real name Marc Anderson – wanted to do something to help those displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and felt Things Can Only Get Better was the perfect track.

 

George said: “The idea came about very quickly after I met Anastasia. We had been going through potential singers for a GBX track and when I asked her to send a demo she said she couldn't for a few days because she was in Ukraine and there was a 48-hour black out. I found the fact that she was continuing to work through these conditions and all the horrors that a war brings inspirational and thought we could maybe do something.
