Free Download: Billie Myers "Just Sex" (Eddie Baez Remix)
Remember Bilie Myers? In 1997, she had a global hit with the Desmond Child produced track "Kiss The Rain." The single was lifted from her debut album "Growing Pains" that was certified gold in the year of its release. Myers quietly released her second album "Vertigo" in 2000 and has been working on new material over the last few years.
She re-emerges with the comeback track "Just Sex" that is taken from her forthcoming new album and might stir up a little controversy. The song takes direct aim at social and religious conservatives who "continue to demonize nontraditional morality," according to a press statement. "It's disturbing that right wing fundamentalists continue to paint sex as the original 'axis of evil,'" said Myers. "They distract us from important issues like education, homelessness, racism and the war by opposing same sex unions and denying groups their rights, all in the name of 'Family Values.'"
Myers gives people more food for thought when she argues that sex and love are not the same thing. She believes monogamy is ideal but not innate to the human condition. "Sexual attraction is chemical and genetically built for long-term survival. When our average life expectancy was 35, it may have been possible to remain monogamous," she explained. "But now, with life expectancy reaching into our eighties, it's nearly impossible. I'd like to think my partners have been faithful to me but I would not be surprised if they were not."
Mixes of "Just Sex" have been delivered to DJs to build a buzz for Billie's from the ground up. Eddie Baez' mix of "Just Sex" is a popular one among the clbs crowds . The mix version is the number one Breakout Track on Billboard's Dance Club Chart this week. (Thanks to Billie for sharing this mix with Arjanwrites.com for two days. Update: I posted the high quality M4A/AAC file while working on getting a high qality MP3.)

too bad it's 64kbps.
arjan, i really think you reconsider posts when the download isn't AT LEAST 128kbps.
it's nice that the record label or artist offered you the download to post but... for someone who loves music as you do, you should know you can't do much with a lo-fi mp3 (can't burn it, can't listen to it without cringing).
you should classify it as a "tease" when it's lo-fi, because as such its worth nothing other than a tease to tempt me to but the album or single.

hello arjan....

and let us return to "fiddler on the roof" shouting TRADITION from the upper floor to the sky....as some churches will love you to work for them -- spreading the love and 'light' -- but, hate you for who you are even if you didn't burn constantinople to the ground.
peace
