MMX (The Social Song)

"MMX (The Social Song)" is a single by the band Enigma released on 15 December 2010 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the musical project.

In October 2010 Enigma's producer Michael Cretu invited the fans to record themselves and vote for a vocalist to create the song via internet.

Latvian Fox Lima's (Alise Ketnere) "Fei Mea" was the most voted and became the lead vocal for the chorus of the social song.

[1] Fans were also involved in the production of the song choosing a solo instrument, its final style and mood as well as its cover art created by Lars Doerwald.

The project was set up as an event "to commemorate Enigma's 20th anniversary involving fans actively in the process of creating a song together with Michael Cretu.

Spring's "Time Machine" was the fans favorite[7] but Fox Lima's "Fei Mea" was eventually the most popular, and became the lead vocalist, closely followed by Mark Josher's "Set U Free", J.

Following the release of the song, Fox Lima revealed that her lyrics for "Fei Mea" did not have a language but were, in fact, words and sounds that came to her while recording.

[citation needed] After officially announcing the winner, Cretu formally invited and asked the 3 runners up: Mark Josher, J.

[8] It was confirmed on Enigma's official Twitter that "Michael had received all the vocals from all the winning vocalists, that he was very pleased with their high quality and would use all of them in the final mix making it the first real and global social song".

To add to the global spirit of the project Michael Cretu and the Enigma's team decided to involve fans further more and participate in another contest for the cover art of the single.
