Katie Melua. A Happy Place. Take One.

Ms. Melua is a Georgian (the country) born singer-songwriter who moved to England at the age of fourteen. In 2003 she signed with the Dramatico record label and went on to become the UK's bestselling female artist in 2006 with her album, Piece by Piece. She caught the eye of Mike Batt (Dramatico's head man) while performing at a BRIT school (prominent London performing arts and technology college) showcase, singing an original song about the death of her idol, Eva Cassidy.

A Happy Place isn't technically a dance song in its original form. However, it does have a good beat and makes the head move about, and a smile has been known to appear. It's easily findable on the interweb.

I thought it would be nice to bring some remixes of the song to the table. The one below is by Loverush UK and was a huge dance hall hit in Europe. It doesn't compromise the feel of the original song like many remixes tend to do. While I love the fact that some remixes take a song and make it feel like a completely different one, I really like that this remix kept the framework of the song intact. I'm also posting a different remix of the song in the above post for comparison's sake. Enjoy.
