Queen's recently shared remix of "Let Me in Your Heart Again" is another prime example of the group's enduring quality despite having lost its frontman, Freddie Mercury, 23 years ago.
The band worked on the song for their 1984 album The Works, but they ended up never finishing it. Producer William Orbit remixed the ballad, Rolling Stone reports, adding contemporary synth melodies to the track. Mercury's voice is a breathe of fresh air, and Brian May's guitar work is superb. Listen below.
"Let Me in Your Heart Again" is the first track to be featured for an AIDS awareness campaign started by Coca-Cola called "Share the Sound of an AIDS-Free Generation." Other previously unreleased tracks will be put out during the month-long campaign via iTunes. Singles by OneRepublic, Aloe Blacc, and a collaboration between Avicii and Wycleaf Jean will all be released this month.
A shorter version of "Let Me in Your Heart Again" will be included in the upcoming compilation Queen Forever. "It's a compilation but it will have this new material on which nobody in the world has ever heard and I think people will really enjoy it," the guitarist told RS in May. "It's the big, big epic sound. It wouldn't have been if we hadn't have done this restoration job. We only had scraps, but knowing how it would've happened had we finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology."
The band also recently shared a trailer for the project, which will be available Nov. 10, that included an unfinished duet between Mercury and Michael Jackson.
