marc romboy vs. chelonis r. jones - helen cornell

first time i heard "helen cornell" was in a set by my friend robert j turner and i really didn't like it. the beat wasn't interesting and the vocal seamed to meander about some woman and i kept wondering when does this track end? the thing was though the hook of "helen cornell, a bit of her in everyone" was stuck in my mind as i think i subconsciously did like or maybe that a phrase like that sticks to you.

somehow i want to believe the former as chelonis r. jones' voice is the kind that reminisces you of robert owens and joe smooth. even if the music sounds like the typical quality european deep technohouse, romboy wanted the element of chicago even though it more sounds like london if anything. i still don't think that romboy's original is the best version musically but jones carries the track.

the other versions of the track are done by stefan goldmann, jerome sydenham and dylan hermelijn aka 2000 and one. the former two focused less on the vocal and are more interesting and i would loved if they included vocal mixes but i guess it'd work with mashing them up live. goldmann does use the full vocal but i don't like how he played with romboy's sounds or jones' singing.

romboy's original does however lend itself to be played around with but the way i'm feeling now, i love it as it is.
