Abigail was a Hi-NRG and house music star in the '90s,
scoring smashes with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen
Spirit" and R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion",
but she fully came into her own with the dance chart winners
"Let The Joy Rise" and "You Set Me Free"
by the turn of the century. House duo Andy Weeden and Frank
Lamboy's remix of the latter is actually a trance effort,
constructing a relentless beat around Abigail's rich,
impassioned vocals and in the process create a powerful,
uplifting recording. And she doesn't resort to histrionics.
In my opinion, akin to what Barbra Streisand accomplishes in
the classic "The Way We Were" or what Billie Ray
Martin exudes in the timeless trancey house of "Your
Loving Arms".
