It’s the third track from their 2019 album, ‘Voice Of A Rebel’, following on from ‘Soul Crushing’, and ‘Bodies In Action’, which were released as grat tracks with pre-orders of the album. The twins have announced that the track itself will be released on digital streaming media, via Universal Music Singapore, on 27 July. Meanwhile, the video for Jedward’s single, ‘Taste The Heat’, is doing the numbers, and has so far racked up more than 130,000 views on YouTube, since it was dropped on Friday. finally clears the air on sampling David Bowie & Queen on "Ice Ice Baby" /ufxlE8Hsa4 It still meant that they got songwriting credits on the track, but for Jedward, it means that, should Rob be up for it, it won’t be a problem to do the song again. ![]() He explained that he “went to Brian May and bought the song”, because owning the publishing rights worked out to be cheaper than fighting both of them in court. In an interview in 2017 with The Dan Patrick Show, Ice (real name Rob Van Winkle) revealed that when Queen and Bowie sued him in 1990 for sampling the song without permission, he bought the rights to it. How would John and Edward be able to re-record the single though, considering it’s largely based on a track written and performed by Queen and David Bowie? Well this is where Vanilla Ice comes in. It’s certainly not an unprecedented idea, lots of artists re-record their biggest hits, and recently Taylor Swift has stated she’s going to do it, following the sale by her former record label of the masters of her first six albums to her arch-nemesis, Scooter Braun. In an interview with Howell Davies for The Sun newspaper, John and Edward said they would be interested in re-releasing the single, to mark its 10th year, and wanted Vanilla Ice to reprise his part in the song.

Now, it might not be such a big deal, except that it was removed without them being informed in the first place (rude, and very unprofessional!) and not only that, but the single had been re-issued as part of their debut album, ‘Planet Jedward’, also released in 2010, but under the Universal label.
