Let There Be Love is a really beautiful ballad
and I am very lucky I was given the opportunity
to record this song as it’s already been a huge hit in Germany
for a band called Rosenstolz (I know that’s not how you pronounce it, but it’s my best German).
A wonderful, wonderful band and Peter Plate is in the band
and is a co-writer on this song. He approached me to record an English version
and this in fact is his bands biggest hit in German speaking countries,
Germany, Austria and Switzerland, he came over to London when I was working in the theatre
and came to see the show and asked me if I’d do the song.
I really love the track, the English translation was very beautiful.
I went over to Berlin where he lives and spent some time with him in the studio.
We recorded the song and it’s turned out great, I really love this song,
but it also makes me quite nervous because I know there are a lot of fans
of the original version so I just hope that they enjoy my version too.
