Heart – There’s The Girl (UK CD Maxi Single)

READER REQUEST

“There’s The Girl” is a song recorded by the American rock band, Heart. Released in November 1987, it was composed by Holly Knight and Heart band member Nancy Wilson. “There’s The Girl” was released as the third single from Heart’s ninth studio album, Bad Animals. Knight is known as a very successful songwriter who was responsible for penning many hit singles during the 1980s.

Like Heart’s 1986 #1 single “These Dreams“, the lead vocals on “There’s the Girl” were performed by Nancy Wilson, rather than Ann Wilson, the usual lead singer for the group. The single climbed to #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was also a Top-40 single on the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #34.

The Remixes

The version released for the single was called 7″ Remix, and was basically the album version with added vocals sung by Nancy Wilson: “She’s setting you up my friend…She’s gonna break your heart again”. This is by far my favorite version!

An extended version was commissioned to Tom Lord-Alge, who worked for other artists such as OMD, and Steve Winwood. It was heavily remixed, “popped-up” you could say. In my opinion too bad, it lost fluidity, as well as the unique “rock & pop” sound Heart had in their Ron Nevison era.

I’m including a bonus track from their 2000 “Greatest Hits” compilation, which covers 1985-1995. It is a different remix of “There’s The Girl”. There are no remix credits, but because it sounds similar to the 12″ Remix, I would think it was done by Tom Lord-Alge at the time of the single’s release.
