Released on February 15, 1993, this version of ”(I’ll Never Be) Maria Magdalena” was a re-release of Sandra’s original 1985 hit, which had catapulted her to international fame. The 1993 version featured a new techno-style arrangement, reflecting the evolving music trends of the early 90s. The track was part of a broader effort to reintroduce Sandra’s music to a new audience while giving her classic hit a contemporary twist.

Produced by Michael Cretu, this re-release was intended to capture the energy and excitement of the original while updating it with the more modern sounds of the early 90s. Although it retained the core elements that made the song a success in the 80s—Sandra’s distinctive vocals and the infectious melody—the new production added a futuristic edge.
