Two Versions. One Extraordinary Song. June 21, 2026 - Summer Solstice
Sedona, Arizona — June 21, 2026 (Summer Solstice)
On the morning of the 2026 Summer Solstice — the longest, most luminous day of the year — Zanna Records releases two distinct and breathtaking recordings of the same iconic composition to the world simultaneously. Written by Gianluca Zanna, "You Are My Destiny" is more than a song;
it is a declaration of cosmic love, an anthem of the soul.
These two new versions — each with its own sonic identity, emotional world, and featured vocalist — represent the most ambitious and fully realized expression of that vision to date.
Both singles feature the extraordinary keyboard artistry of Joseph Wooten — whose "Hands of Soul" touch is woven into the DNA of each track.
Both arrive on all major global digital platforms on June 21, 2026.
Both are destined for the airwaves, the dancefloor, and the heart.
You Are My Destiny — Danny Saber Remix
Feat. Joseph Wooten (Hands of Soul) • Vocals: Claudette Lyons • Key: E♭ Major • 123 BPM • 4:40
If the Zanna Records Remix is the soul of "You Are My Destiny," then the Danny Saber Remix is its electric heartbeat. Where the first version wraps you in harmonic warmth, this one drives — with purpose, with momentum, with the unmistakable pulse of a track built for movement.
The sonic fingerprint here is distinctly Giorgio Moroder and the data confirms it.
The spectral centroid is noticeably brighter than the first version, meaning the top end is more open and shimmering; the electronic elements catch the light.
The rhythmic onset strength is higher — there is more percussive punch in the mix, a forward momentum that is pure '70s and '80s Italo-disco ancestry filtered through a masterful modern production sensibility. Running in E♭ Major — a key that shines — this is music that moves bodies and lifts spirits in the same breath.
But Saber never lets the electronics swallow the soul. Wooten's keyboards remain front and center, providing the human warmth that anchors everything — a soulful counterweight to every synthesizer line, every programmed groove.
And over all of it floats the extraordinary voice of Claudette Lyons, whose performance brings an ethereal, floating quality that transforms the track into something cinematic. Her voice doesn't just carry the melody — it becomes the light in the mix.
The result is a record that Donna Summer would have recognized, that Nile Rodgers would respect, and that anyone who has ever lost themselves on a dancefloor at 2am will feel in their bones. Moroder's ghost is absolutely present — but this is not nostalgia. This is now.
From its opening bars, the Zanna Records Remix finalized by Romanian Music Producer Andrei Murariu, envelops you in something rare: a track that feels simultaneously ancient and modern, intimate and cosmic. Running at 123 BPM in B♭ Major, it carries a warm, unhurried groove — not a track that demands you move, but one that makes movement inevitable.
What the audio reveals most profoundly is the harmonic richness at the heart of this mix.
The harmonic-to-percussive ratio is exceptionally high — meaning the arrangement breathes through melody, chords, and texture far more than through rhythmic punch.
This is a soul production in the deepest sense: the bass is warm and full, the midrange is where the emotion lives, and Joseph Wooten's keyboard lines spiral and shimmer above it all like something between prayer and performance.
Gianluca Zanna's vocal sits inside the music rather than above it — not a voice performing over a track, but a voice that belongs to the track. The production is generous in its low end, giving the whole piece a grounded, physical presence even as the harmonies reach for something transcendent. It is the sound of a man singing not just to a person, but to a destiny he believes in absolutely.
"You Are My Destiny has always been the most personal thing I have ever written," says Zanna.
"This version is the one that sounds most like the inside of my chest."
TWO VERSIONS. ONE DESTINY.
What makes this dual release remarkable — beyond the caliber of talent assembled — is the fact that both tracks share an identical tempo of exactly 123 BPM. Same heartbeat. Completely different souls. One breathes through harmonic depth and vocal warmth; the other pulses with electronic drive and danceable light. Together they form two sides of the same coin — two ways of hearing the same truth about love, longing, and the music that binds people across every border and ocean.
It is no accident that Zanna Records chose the Summer Solstice as the release date. The longest day. The moment of maximum light. The turning point of the year. "You Are My Destiny" — in both its incarnations — is music made for exactly that kind of moment.
ABOUT JOSEPH WOOTEN — "HANDS OF SOUL"
Joseph Wooten is one of the most celebrated keyboard virtuosos alive — a three-time Grammy-nominated musician, composer, and artist whose soulful command of the instrument has earned him the title "Hands of Soul." Best known as the longtime keyboardist for the legendary Steve Miller Band, and the Wooten Brothers. Joseph has performed on the world's most prestigious stages and collaborated with some of the greatest names in American music.
His musical roots run deep through R&B, soul, gospel, and jazz — the bedrock traditions that give his playing its unmistakable emotional weight. Whether in the studio or on stage, Wooten brings a rare gift: the ability to make a keyboard line feel like a human voice, and a human voice feel like it could only ever exist inside his music.
"Working with Joseph was a revelation," says Gianluca Zanna. "His hands carry soul in every keystroke. He didn't just play the song — he became it. When Joseph plays, you don't hear notes. You hear Emotions."
