For fans of Belouis Some’s classic 80s hit Imagination, there’s a treat in store: a brand new EP featuring orchestral and extended versions of the song! This four-track offering lets you experience the song in four new lights.
The EP opens with the “Imagination – Orchestral Version.” Swelling strings replace the original’s intriguing intro, setting a dramatic tone. The theatrical elements of the song are accentuated, creating a sense of grandeur and sophistication. The “Imagination – Orchestral Extended Version” takes things a step further, featuring an extended orchestral outro that allows the strings to truly soar. This is a version for fans who want to fully immerse themselves in the lush orchestral soundscape.
Track three brings us back to the familiar ground of the original “Imagination.” Sparkling cymbals, thumping drums, smug and intriguing guitar lines and a catchy melody set the groove, perfectly complementing Belouis Some’s signature vocals. His voice is as earnest, sultry, sharp, sexy and charming as ever, drawing you into the world of his desires. The bridge’s brass section adds a touch of classic 80s flair, keeping the song firmly rooted in its era.
The final track, “Imagination – Main Extended Version,” offers a modern twist. Electronic flourishes and shimmering synths weave their way into the mix, creating an exhilarating outro that takes the song into new territory.
This EP is a love letter to a timeless song. Whether you prefer the grandeur of the orchestral versions or the infectious groove of the original, there’s something here for every Imagination fan. The song is included in the upcoming “Orchestral Eighties” compilation album. So, definitely jump in Imagination with Belouis Some.
