"Stoned in Love" is a dance track by Chicane (Nick Bracegirdle), with vocals performed by famed pop singer Tom Jones. It was released as a single on 24 April 2006. The song followed a number of genre crossover recordings for both musicians, Bracegirdle having recorded previous hits with Celtic folk singer Máire Brennan and rock singer Bryan Adams, and Jones having recorded the house music hit "Sex Bomb" with producer/DJ Mousse T. It was included on Chicane's third studio album, Somersault in 2007, as well as Tom Jones' 2006 compilation "Greatest Hits: The Platinum Edition". ==History== Having written the song, Bracegirdle was looking for a singer able to reach a high pitch in vocal range, without having to resort to falsetto. According to Bracegirdle, his initial candidates were Jones, James Dean Bradfield and Kelly Jones — all Welshmen. Jones has stated that he had never heard of Chicane before being approached with the song, but soon took a liking to the material: "It's a very well written song with good lyrics. It's a proper song structurally and not just a moody record."〔 The single was first announced in March 2006 in a press release on the official Chicane website, following three years of minimal recording activity and little publicity from Bracegirdle. Soon after, audio and video samples were hosted on the official Chicane and Tom Jones websites. The single received play from various DJs on BBC Radio 1, including noted DJ Pete Tong on 24 February and 10 March, and Dave Pearce on 2 April. Jones' knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II took place during this period of time, on 29 March 2006. Two concerts were announced with the release of the single: the Manchester Academy on 22 April, and the Islington academy on 24 April.〔 At the 22 April concert, a number of new songs from the upcoming album were played to the public for the first time, including the next single, "Come Tomorrow". Jones has performed the song live with Chicane on ''Friday Night with Jonathan Ross'' on 21 April, on 24 April at the Islington Academy and ''The Paul O'Grady Show'', and on 30 April on ''Top of the Pops''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stoned in Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
