Limahl’s return to the studio after a five-year break is more than just a nostalgia trip — it’s a reinvention.
His cover of America’s 1972 hit “A Horse With No Name” is a bold first foray into reinterpretation, and it lands with style. Where the original was all desert heat and soft-rock haze, Limahl’s version infuses the track with glimmering synths, ’90s-inspired drum loops, and a sleek electronic undercurrent that feels right at home in 2025.
His voice, still effortlessly recognizable, floats through the mix with a dreamy confidence. The analog Jupiter 8 synthesizer adds personality and warmth, while the surprise guitar lines in the outro feel both unexpected and totally necessary. The track walks a fine line between homage and reinvention — and pulls it off with finesse.
This isn’t just a cover. It’s a reimagination that honors the past while confidently stepping into the future. Limahl may be known for his ’80s hits, but this single proves he’s still creatively restless — and still has plenty to say.
