Limahl has returned with his first single release in over 5 years, a reimagining of the 70’s classic ‘A Horse With No Name’ that’s out now via Christopher Music. The track, originally recorded by America, reaching No 3 in the UK charts, is Limahl’s first ever cover. Adapting the ‘70s musical aesthetics and injecting a bit of ‘90s electronica, this version of the song has a retro-futuristic quality that feels equally at home in 2025.
“The original ‘70s track has been a favorite on my evening playlist for a long time, and I had always wanted to do my own version. The ‘90s have been enjoying a revival which prompted me to experiment with the drums/rhythms from that decade. Then the jerky, ‘Jupiter 8’ analogue synthesizer/sequencer was added with a filtering envelope and it became an important personality in the track. As an afterthought, guitar was added, and it became the icing on the cake.” LIMAHL
