Aaaah 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!

E-mail response regarding single:

"Hi Keith,

Shena asked me to reply to your enquiry about 'Can't stop the rain' being available overseas.

We are currently in negotiations to license the track to several overseas territories including USA and Canada and hope to make it available in the near future.

Delighted that you like the track, please register on www.shena.co.uk and you will be advised of developments via her regular newsletter.

Very kind regards

What is the exact meaning of "overseas"?
- America only ;
- Europe and America.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about Europe, but the song is currently available for download in the UK. I was inquiring about the US.

Amazon.co.uk just posted remixes to be available on April 13. Here's the link:

Can't Stop The Rain (remixes): Shena: Amazon.co.uk: MP3 Downloads

Not really old school remixes I think, but worth checking out. And no sign of a release outside the UK yet :-(

Can't wait until Monday 13th April to download all four remix tracks! I was disappointed when the original release was a single track download and to extend it I have to loop it using digital software, so here's to Monday!!!!

This track is getting UK airplay but it is not charting - why, oh why not??????

Perhaps you have to be a serious CHIC fan to love this to bits - I am and I do!!!! And I downloaded it at 1 minute past minute on the day of release.

So refreshing to have new music that doesn't regurgitate old school tracks, but actually builds on what was a tried and tested CHIC formula - I'm just surprised Nile Rodgers didn't come up with this as it really could have been written by him and the late Bernard Edwards.
