D1 MUSIC RELEASES REMAKE OF RENEE GEYER CLASSIC,
“SAY I LOVE YOU”
New York, NY... Diva vocalist Taborah keeps the D1 Music mantra of infusing dance
floors with electrifying music alive with her remake of Renee Geyer’s 1981 dance
classic, Say I Love You. The song, featuring Grammy-nominated percussionist
Sammy Figueroa and club remixes by John Rizzo, Solar City, DJ Man, Casey Alva,
Murray Hood, William Umana, Arenna, and D1 Music, releases to i-Tunes, Masterbeat.
com and additional online retailers this week, in time for Valentine’s Day.
“Say I Love You is about the importance of telling your partner those three magic
words,” said Taborah from her recording studio in New York City. “Even though a
person may know that they are loved, sometimes the head needs to hear what the
heart is thinking.”
It was the idea of Peter McLean, President of D1 Music, to re-make the classic track.
The original Say I Love You, written by Eddie Grant and sung by Aussie pop star Renee
Geyer, was a huge hit Australia in 1981. McLean grew up loving the track for its strong
musical and vocal hooks.
“The reggae/pop feel of Say I Love You is
perfect for crossover appeal and the theme
of the song is universal,” explained
Mr. McLean. He and his music partner Keith
Kemper re-worked the instrumental to

Mr. McLean. He and his music partner Keith
Kemper re-worked the instrumental to
modernize the track. It took some time, however, to find the perfect vocalist
for the re-make.
After recording the 2009 remake of Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now with Taborah
this summer, Peter McLean realized he had found his voice in Taborah.
“We were in the recording studio when it dawned on me that Taborah’s
voice would be perfect for the song.”
Taborah agreed to record; not only because she loved the song but
because she could relate to its message.
“I was in a relationship recently where my boyfriend struggled every time he
had to say the “L” word,” she remembered. “When I said it to him he would
respond by saying ‘me too’. I would say to him, ‘Oh, you love you too?’ He
just didn't get it.”

She was also drawn to the song’s emphasis on forgiveness.
“Forgiveness is an act of self, not a selfish act. It's something that must be
done in order to heal and move forward. When you reach the point that you
are able to forgive someone, than you have succeeded in reaching the
ability to love unconditionally. To err is human, to forgive is love.”
As far as when the right time is to say the words: “When you mean it,”
continued Taborah. “When you feel it and when you don’t expect anything in
return. You should never quiet the heart. Let it speak.”
Say I Love You is Taborah’s second single release with D1 Music. Last
summer, she paired with R&B maestro Darryl D’Bonneau with a hands-in-
the-air remake of the McFadden & Whitehead disco classic, Ain’t No
Stoppin’ Us Now.
“We’re not afraid to tell Taborah we love her,” said Peter McLean. “She is a
great artist and a wonderful friend. We work so well in the studio together
and her amazing talent and awesome voice always exceeds my
expectations. We definitely plan to record a full-length album with Taborah
soon.”
To further increase the international appeal of the track, Taborah also
recorded the song in Spanish. Dime Te Amo releases to i-Tunes and
additional online retailers this week, in time for Valentine’s Day.
Say I Love You is expected to be another smash in D1Music’s already
impressive line-up of hits. The label released Lisa Hunt’s Top 5 Billboard
hit This Joint Is Jumpin, featured on the popular TV show, Queer As Folk.
D1 Music also unleashed the critically acclaimed mixed compilation
