The CD-Single will contain an additional Radio Mix and probably the Video Clip of Renegade and maybe some photos.

Here are the front and back covers of the single:

There will be a new CD single out by ATB, called Renegade, which is another collaboration by Andre Tanneberger (ATB) with Heather Nova. There was a videoshooting for Renegade in Buenos Aires on March 10th with Heather Nova for this new CD single, which will be released on April 13th, 2007.

The CD single will be as well on the new album Trilogy of ATB, which will be released 2 weeks later. You can order the albums in two different versions already at amazon.de.
