Shane Covers I Put A Spell On You For Haiti

[James]

Laura White was on BBC Radio Manchester this morning discussing the single. She was star of the x-factor a couple of years ago and revealed some of the other performers on the song which is out later this month.

She's on in the last five minutes

Simon Cowell's single?

You can hear Shane singing after 2:30

The only word I can get on a release date comes from Johnny Depp News' facebook page and twitter.

They give 1st March. But I can't get any confirmation from elsewhere. [edit -NME confirm it]


Also - yuck at my having to read what she says about anything.

Wow, it sounds great, thanks DzM/MacRua. I'm not sure i like Shane's howling though. I found it difficult to tell who else was singing on that clip, was it Nick Cave?

[FAY]

And so the video has arrived!

Beyond Brilliant! Is there a word for that?

[FAY]

I'm sorry, but I have to ask and comment (pardon my ignorance, naivete, zeal, and critique)...

Who is Paloma Faith? (she has quite a high profile slot in this song)
It felt like too, too, too, too long to have to wait for Chrissie Hynde's part.
Who is the other (3rd) female singer?
Was Johnny Depp's part recorded seperately?
For a second, I thought that mighta been Joey Cashman on sax, but then again, I don't think Gerry O'Boyle and JC have ever been in the same room together....
I think Shane's vocals sound great! Clear, full, energetic, focussed, and uncompromised.
Guess the track of Mick Jones smacking the fire extinguisher never made it to the final mix.
Cait is hot!!!!
Danny Clifford was the exclusive photog genuis so there's bound to be some GREAT shots coming soon.
And lastly, for what it's worth... my own, Fay's Fantasy We Are the World in London Shane for Haiti League would have atleast included: Pete Doherty, Phil Chevron, Spider Stacey, Gilson Lavis, Jools Holland, Bap Kennedy, Paul Weller, Ron Wood, and Kate Moss.
More star power... more commercial success.
And, Joey on sax, of course!
Although, thank you, Bono, for sitting this one out.
But, I'm not complaining.
Great job, Shane! (Andy White/producer, too)
Those are just merely my first impressions.

Is this going to be a download only ?
Or is there to be a cd coaster ?
The video says radio edit which would suggest at least one more version of the track.

Just heard the single it is fuckin great!! I love Shane's snarl coupled with the guitar!
