"First the facts before the gushing: 1. Stronger (Album Version) 5:15 2. Stronger (Junior's Marathon Mix) 10:13 3. Stronger (Johnny Vicious Club Mix) 10:48 4. Clubland (Thunderpuss Club Mix) 7:34 The first track is a nice mid-tempo version a la "One More Try" from her first album. "If you think you stand alone, you've got a lot to learn. Because as long as there's one breath left in me, you'll always have someone to turn to." Track two is a nice laid back mix approach by Junior Vasquez. It never really kicks into high gear but creates a nice moody approach that brings Kristine's voice into the forefront. The third mix will definitely thrill Kristine W fans. It starts out with swaying synths, tubular bells, and "My love" looping before it slows down into the first chorus. Accompanying her is a beautiful acoustic guitar. Once it hits the four minute mark, the synths start sounding a lot like her "Feel What You Want" and it kicks off into high gear not letting up. The chorus comes in "My love is stronger than your pain. Stronger than your fear. Sweet enough to wash the salt from your tears. Deeper than the waves that break against your heart. You can't go on any longer. My love is stronger." Brillant mix. The fourth track is a fun, fun, fun blending of Kristine's jazzy vocals and T'Puss's trademark hard beats and thick synth lines blending it into a mix that you can't help but smile and dance while listening to. The mix starts off with a drum lick then builds into a out of control siren before Kristine comes in scatting. GREAT! "Every night you reinvent what you really want to be. He's a she but we all agree, it's a party blow your own horn." Definitely a must-have disc for all dance music lovers. Note to Kristine W: The wait was long, but well worth it."
Kristine W is Stronger than ever

"Four years after Land of the Living came out, Kristine W returns, and this time its to reign with love love love! This is the very first single off of her new album, Stronger and a great pick! The album version will always remain my favorite version. But of the mixes, I think the Johnny Vicious Club Mix is the strongest of them all. Junior's mix is great, but doesn't really take the song to its anthemic power that Vicious does. I highly suggest this single to anyone who is interested in Kristine W and dance divas!"
Give Kristine W a chance

"Yes .... I agree - kristine W is trying to reach the mainstream with her new album . Which would seem to be more easily consumable to the mass media ( but for the long time kristine W fan - the production takes a while to get used to. ) The single of Stronger however is a flawless example of with the right production - what Kristine W is capable of . my personal favorite mix of Stronger is the Johnny Vicious Club Mix . This mix is a classic trance anthem that gives "strength" and presence to her vocals. the breaks and builds add to the drama of thic track. The junior Vasquez mix ( Juniour's Marathon mix ) is another great version as well. Give this single a chance - it's great !! If you happen to run into copies of the promo of "Stronger " - listen to the Dj Alici Remix - it is the best one out there !!!"
The Dance Diva makes a comeback!

"This is one of my fav cd singles. I love Kristine's voice. Hers is one great instrument. "Stronger" proves that without doubt, this year will go out with great club anthems. Each of the 3 versions of "Stronger" are fun. It's a catchy tune. Upon going to HMV, I found the single. It's excellent. I could hardly wait to buy the album, debating whether or not to check on Napster first. With pleasure, I listen to the single all the time."Clubland" by Thunderpuss, is fantastic. It's even better than the album version. There are more layering of vocals on the single. I give the single an additional 5 stars. Get this single now!Did my review help you?"
