As mentioned in the previous post about Anastacia’s new collaboration with Tony Moran, last year the big-voiced diva teamed up with Dutch DJ/producer Tiësto on “What Can We Do (A Deeper Love).” The track incorporates the chorus of Clivillés & Cole’s 1992 #1 dance hit, “Pride (A Deeper Love),” covered two years later by Aretha Franklin, who took it to #1 again.
Interestingly, Anastacia wasn’t credited on the release of “What Can We Do (A Deeper Love),” which first appeared on Tiësto’s Club Life, Vol. 2 – Miami compilation and later as a full single in December. Maybe the two artists had an arrangement, as now Anastacia has released a new version of “What Can We Do” without Tiësto’s involvement.
Re-done in her “sprock” sound — how Anastacia refers to her mix of soul, pop, and rock — “What Can We Do (A Deeper Love)” was first used in a television commercial she starred in for the Czech car company, Škoda, in May. Now an extension of that same set-up serves as a music video for the single’s proper release.
There was a bit of a minor dust-up recently when Anastacia appeared to dismiss the thought of working with David Guetta. “He’s called me so many times and I just don’t have time for it. I would probably enjoy doing a duet because I have done stuff like that. Not that I would change my style.”
But lest you think the singer has no interest in going the guest route previously traveled by Kelly Rowland, Sia, and Nicki Minaj, Anastacia clarified her feelings a few days ago via Twitter: “No, he never asked. I would say YES.”
So what can you do, Anastacia? Answer your phone, for starters.
