"We Want Your Soul" is a single by British DJ and producer Adam Freeland. The track made the top 40 charts in several countries,[citation needed][dubious – discuss] and won awards for the accompanying music video.[1][unreliable source?] Freeland described the song as being "about the destructive side of consumer culture".[2]
Production
[edit]"We Want Your Soul" was the first track for which Freeland wrote the lyrics.[3] The song's verses are spoken by a speech synthesizer, and it also features a sample of Bill Hicks.[3] The song has been remixed by drum and bass duo Ed Rush & Optical, electronic band Product.01 and Australian dance trio Infusion.
Austrian electronic music duo Klangkarussell created a remix of the song, released in 2011 through the duo's SoundCloud profile before being including in their 2014 debut album Netzwerk.[4][failed verification]
