And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. The Boogie Pimps version is an electronic cover of Bobby Hebb’s classic song “Sunny.” Released in 2003, it adapts the original composition into a club-dance style.
2. Debra Andrew-Cowen contributed vocals to the track “Blue Water” by Black Rock. Her vocal and lyrical work accompanied production efforts by the duo.
3. Ice Cube is not among Ugly Duckling’s members, whose lineup includes Andy Cooper, Dizzy Dustin, and Young Einstein. They’re responsible for tracks like “Taste the Secret,” their concept album from 2003.
4. Le Tigre’s “After Dark” is an electronic/indie rock track. This aligns with their album “This Island,” known for its feminist themes and dance-punk style.
5. “Buggin’ Me” by True Steppers was released under the Nulife label. It charted within the top 10 in the UK in 2000.
6. The Ladies First cover of “I Can’t Wait” reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. It’s a notable UK garage rendition of the original Nu Shooz hit.
7. Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s “Cry Baby” grooves in the pop genre. Its upbeat production is marked by catchy hooks and a glitzy music style synced with the early 2000s pop trend.
8. “In The Park” by DeMoN & Awa belongs to the album “Music That You Wanna Hear.” It reflects a direct collaborative effort credited to both performers.
9. The debut single of S Club Juniors is the track that appeared on their album “Together.” It cemented their presence as products of the TV series “S Club Search.”
10. Anita Kelsey contributed her vocals to D*Note’s track “Shed My Skin.” The song is noted for its inclusion on the 2001 album “Fuchsia Dog.”
11. The original 1999 version of Jan Johnston’s track saw its first official release in 2019. Initially unreleased, it finally emerged to fill the gaps in her discography.
12. Wim Mertens composed the original piece later adapted by Minimalistix as “Struggle For Pleasure.” The cover maintained the minimalist essence while fitting into a dance context.
