Legacy of Soul II Soul

"Sadeness (Part I)" is a song by German musical project Enigma, released in October 1990 by Virgin Records as the lead single from their first album MCMXC a.D. (1990). It was written by Michael Cretu, Fabrice Cuitad and Frank Peterson, and produced by the last. The song features a French lyric whispered by Cretu's then-wife Sandra and became an international hit, reaching number one in 14 countries. In the United States it peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on both the Dance Club Play and 12-inch Singles Sales charts. Its accompanying music video was directed by Michel Guimbard, featuring a scribe dreaming of wandering into The Gates of Hell. A sequel to the song, "Sadeness (Part II)", featuring Anggun, was released on Enigma's eighth studio album, The Fall of a Rebel Angel (2016).

"Freedom! '90" is a song written, produced, and performed by English singer-songwriter George Michael, and released in October 1990. The "'90" added to the end of the title is to prevent confusion with a hit by Michael's former band Wham!, also entitled "Freedom". The song's backing beat is a sample from James Brown's song "Funky Drummer".
