REVIEW: Casey Barnes & Mark Shine - Livin' Like A Love Song out on Black Hole recordings

1. Remy Le Duc Remix 
2. Somna Remix 
3. Mike Ivy & Nimo Iero Club Mix 

 Casey Barnes started his singing career in his home state of Tasmania, before relocating to the Gold Coast, which he now calls home. At the start of 2011, his defiant "Never Break You" became an anthem after the devastating Queensland floods and Cyclone Yasi. The song soared to number one and set Casey's name in stone. The people of Australia got to know Casey’s story when he was a top 12 finalist in the final series of Australian Idol in 2009. But Casey already had a career before appearing on the show, having released three albums, played alongside Bryan Adams, and had a number one hit on the European dance charts, singing Marco Demark’s remake of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer. 

 Now debuting his track "Livin' Like A Love Song" on the Black Hole imprint, Casey Barnes hits the world's dance floors. The single features both Casey and Jamaican singer Mark Shine and was recently recorded in New York. 

“Livin’ Like A Love Song” sheds new light on Casey’s previous solo releases and perfectly displays his versatility as a singer/songwriter. On top of an infectious, laid back groove, the vocals reach an enticing sing-along level and make for an outstanding vocal house track. Reworking the original version in three new remixes are Remy Le Duc, Miky Ivy & Nimo Iero and Somna. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The exquisite worldwide respected record label Black Hole recordings presents another must have vocal progressive house with light touch of trance hybrid. Casey Barnes & Mark Shine provide to the global summer EDM festivals the anthem Livin' Like A Love Song. The package includes 3 excellent make overs to put their mark upon your life. First of all Remy Le Duc goes epic prog house with electrified grungy raw basslines, pumping rocking beats and fantastic breakdown that allows the lovely vocal with that killer guitar riff to come at the top. The climax is the finest you can get and will blow you away in just seconds. Girls will adore Casey Barnes voice while the Boys will appreciate the hard booming beats and sharp basslines. Second remix perfect for the progressive trance sets comes from Somna. So beautiful, sweet and mesmerising vocals and melodies combined in perfection with energetic chunky groovy beats and electrified big room basslines. The guitar riff is replaced with piano melody  that works like a treat. Lastly  Mike Ivy & Nimo Iero Club Mix  takes things back to the epic prog house territory with huge tribal meaty beats and great euphoric synths to add that summery balearic atmosphere. It sounds perfect for your summer soundtrack. Highly recommended package. Love iT!
