There is a GREAT new tune being played on Radio 2 over here in the UK - SHENA "can't stop the rain' - It is IMHO the BEST Disco tune that captures the Chic sound since BITD. (Even better than the Alcazar releases)!
I haven't got any release info apart from downloads available next week....but not sure about the 'hardware'.
If you like Chic, You should Love this ..:icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin:
Excellent.
A very "I want your love" sounding song.
A clip and more songs here:

She's on the BBC Radio2's playlist:

Her full name is Shéna Winchester, she's from Surrey and she's quite big now, at least in England and France.
Friday she sings in the French city of Montpellier (Hed Kandi France on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads) and after that she's in England.
It's not a bad tune at all, I think they may have been listening to "I want your love"!
Some more nice tunes on her myspace page too, one being "Nasty Little Rumour" which is more Chic-ery style business, very catchy and deserves a good bit of radio play... for some reason I now want to play "Miss Manhattan"

I think it sounds alot like Ultra Nate's 'New Kind Of Medicine' from the late 90s. It sounds more like 'real music' than much 'nu-disco'. Good for her.
...ya gotta beat the street......
I was thinking that she was reminiscent of Ultra as well..
Speaking of Ultra Nate' I LOVE her track Twisted the version here on my pop up player is the most straight forward get to the guts version..The Craig C mix..His mixes are Hot~!!

In the clip, Shèna's white dress is very much in the style of Amii Stewart's ("Knock on wood" clip and album). The only big difference is the colour. See it at 1:55 in the clip.
Thnx for responses, but anyone know if 12" or CD will be available any time soon ??:icon_question:
Aaaah :icon_lol: thank you Dayna!
Wow, now this I like. Very classy yet catchy. I was not going to bother checking the links at first, thinking it would be another sample-fest using Chic riffs like Alcazar. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised.

Wow!!
Nice track. I have the promo CD of the Album and thats not on it unfortunately. They must be re-doing the album. 'Nasty little rumour' is also great to as is 'One man woman' that got a lot of underground radio and club play in the UK in it's club version.
I really like Shena she did some great tracks in the late 90's (More than woman, Let the beat hit em) and did many guest vocals on dance tracks. Nice to see hear getting mainstream airplay. I hope there is a nice long remix of Cant stop the rain that maintains it's Chiciness!
