I Would Die 4 U (New version, new band?)

Hello!! I just heard " I'd die 4 u" on the radio BUT it wasn't Prince, I heard the lyrics and said THIS IS A PRINCE SONG, I don't know if anyone else have heard it, I dont know if its a DANISH band who has made this new version .. I haven't been on the ORG for a while, so maybe it has already been discussed, if so I'm sorry!
I'm sorry that I couldn't remember the band's name, coz I waited for the song to end so maybe the "host" would tell more about this new version but she didn't!! (Btw, I heard it on THE VOICE - Danish radio).. so please tell me if anyone else have heard anything about this??

It's sung by "Space Cowboys". I don't think they are Danish, maybe Brits or Yanks. It's in stores in Europe/UK

Thanks for clearing that out, yeah SPACE COWBOYS that's right!!.. weird I haven't heard anything about it.. though I don't really hang out at the org anymore, I'm sure you've already discussed it.. - though I've got another thing to add my list "Where does SPACE COWBOYS come from.." probably space..

Review of 'I Would Die 4 U' Cover

Found this in 'Heat' magazine, June 29th issue. Seems to explain why Prince's voice is not used in the remix.

The Space Cowboy- I Would Die 4 U (Southern Fried)
The 80s revival continues with this hectically funky version of the Prince hit. ‘I Would Die 4 U’ originally appeared on His Purple Highness’ 1984 breakthrough album ‘Purple Rain’. The Space Cowboy- producer Nick Dresti- first recorded a bootleg remix that was a hit with DJs like Norman Cook. But knowing Prince would never authorise a remix, Dresti sought out an old cover version featuring Jin Wilde and now Dresti and Wilde are working on new material. Dontcha just love a happy ending?

So basically it is not the Space Cowboys singing it is someone named Jin Wilde. The Space Cowboys did the remix.
