This single from Germany's premier sanctified dance outfit comes with five tracks of two songs and a running time of just under 20 minutes. There is one version of 'Everybody' and four mixes of 'Somebody Like You' which features George Mhondra from MIC. The overall flavour of the CD is Euro pop/thechno, so if that is your thing this could be for you. The lyrics are very straight forward like 'I have never loved anybody like' referring to Jesus. The songs are both fairly bouncy in nature, typical bpm 130. On first hearing it didn't grab me that much, but given a few more airings it soon started to grow on me. My favourite track is number three, being the house mix. It blends a house feel in the music quite mildly but still manages to change the song sufficiently to make it noticeably different from the original. The only other mix that does that is the club mix.
