"We Want Your Soul" is a single by British DJ and producer Adam Freeland. The track peaked at number 35 in the UK Singles Chart upon release in September 2003[1] and won awards for the accompanying music video.[2][unreliable source?] Freeland described the song as being "about the destructive side of consumer culture".[3]
"We Want Your Soul" was the first track for which Freeland wrote the lyrics.[4] The song's verses are spoken by a speech synthesizer, and it also features a sample of Bill Hicks.[4] The song has been remixed by drum and bass duo Ed Rush & Optical, electronic band Product.01 and Australian dance trio Infusion.
Austrian electronic music duo Klangkarussell created a remix of the song, released in 2011 through the duo's SoundCloud profile before being including in their 2014 debut album Netzwerk.[5][failed verification]
