Wicked Game (Hot22 remix - The Letting Go Mix) - Chris Isaak - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sometimes all it takes is just one song to jumpstart an artist's career. For American singer-songwriter Chris Isaak, it was the twangy, luscious ballad "Wicked Game," originally included in his 1989 LP Heart Shaped World. Inspired by a telephone conversation with a woman seeking a casual sexual encounter, the song is an intoxicating tale of obsession in the aftermath of a one-night stand. In 1990, "Wicked Game" broke into the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, mainly thanks to the help of Atlanta-based DJ Lee Chesnut, who began regularly playing the track on the radio after hearing an instrumental version featured in David Lynch's Wild at Heart. This success propelled its parent album to Number 7 on the Billboard 200 and finally thrust Chris Isaak into the mainstream pop world. In the following years, "Wicked Game" spawned countless cover versions by artists from all genres, including Finnish rock band HIM, crossover vocal group Il Divo, and New York-based house music duo Hott22.
