Recently TotalNtertainment spoke to Limahl about the reason behind reimagining the single. That being said, with a career that spans over four decades there was plenty to catch up on with the singer chatting about being a solo artist, his thoughts on the music industry in 2025 and why he never really went away once he left 80s pop favourites Kajagoogoo. Towards the end of the interview, Limahl also opened up about what it was like being gay growing up in the North of England and, for a bit of fun, told us about memorable fashion items from that era.
Limahl’s reimagining of “A Horse With No Name” breathes new life into the classic 1971 hit by America. Originally a folk-rock anthem, Limahl’s version infuses ’90s electronica elements, featuring a hypnotic synth-dominated swirl that modernizes the track while retaining its introspective essence. The addition of a key change in the final chorus and the incorporation of the iconic “la la” vocal motif further distinguish this rendition. Guitar contributions by Steve Cooper add a layer of depth, enhancing the track’s dynamic range.
Limahl’s decision to cover “A Horse With No Name” stems from his personal connection to the song, which has been a favourite on his “Evening” playlist for years. He describes the original as a piece that evokes “solitary thinking in a peaceful place,” a sentiment he aimed to preserve while introducing contemporary elements. The track’s release has been met with positive reception, showcasing Limahl’s ability to blend nostalgia with modernity.
This reimagining not only pays homage to a timeless classic but also demonstrates Limahl’s versatility and enduring relevance in the music industry. Watch the full interview here:
