HISTORY

On 13 October 2017, Cronos3 posted a song onto WatZatSong, which was found out to be from this album titled One More Try. However, the song only credited the composers. It took until 06 April 2021 for composer Eike Lüchow stated that Sture Zetterburg was the singer of One More Try. He also said Sture was the vocalist on Love And Glory and Caroline von Brünken was the vocalist on Catwalk. This raised the question of who sung the other tracks.

The songs No I Ain't, Shine On me, ASAP (Philip Larsen Remix), GYWO, Photobooth, Hurricane, JetLag, Out Of The Dark, Over The Top (Orchestral Version) had their vocalists credited either on Shazam or the compilation itself.

FatBird found Same Wherever I Go & Sorry crediting Malya & Nik Felice respectively as vocalists after less than 3 days. The search would slow down considerebly for months.

From September 2021 to November 2021, ell45 would contact the writers to find the vocalists. By the end of the year, the only tracks left were Earthquakes & Natural. The search would be left inactive for years since the composers of those tracks were hard to contact.

When Q reuploaded Earthquakes on 16 March 2024, it reignited the search. Ciara quickly let Q know that they had contacts with the composer of the track. 3 days later he responded saying the song was sung by Bekki Friesen.

Only one month later Q sent a message to sent a message to Natural composer Julia Kautz in German with help from movieman2024 & got a response in mid April 2024. Leaving every song on the compilation with a known singer to credit.
