And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:

1. The record label responsible was Aegean Records, founded by George Michael. It was a brief endeavor but left a mark with this collaboration.

2. The music video set in a trailer park is “She Cries Your Name.” Beth Orton's time in the Mojave added local grit to her ethereal sound.

3. Every version of Mariah Carey's single prominently features a gospel choir. Spiritual undertones pair well with pop sensibilities here.

4. Nina Persson co-wrote the lyrics with Magnus Svenningsson. Their collaboration gave words to the dreamy melodies of The Cardigans.

5. The hip hop group responsible is the Fugees. Lauryn Hill's vocals delivered nostalgia while the production remained distinctly nineties.

6. The genre of Shania Twain’s song is country pop. It bridged Nashville sounds and mainstream appeal, thanks to Mutt Lange's production.

7. Gary Barlow’s solo album featured “Love Is the Answer.” Madonna's unreleased demo found a new voice through his performance.

8. Gina G’s track uses “Ti amo” within its pop framework. Her mix of languages speaks to the song's playful, summery feel.

9. Lisa Stansfield’s single peaked at number 28 on the UK Singles Chart. It marked her consistent presence on international charts.

10. The music video was filmed in Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands. Its picturesque location was ideal for the tropical vibes of the track.

11. The single is classified under hip-hop/R&B. Joe's smooth vocals merged seamlessly with the film's thematic tones.

12. Boy George’s project omits the theme of wealth. "Generations of Love" focuses on compassion and human equality, not material concerns.
