this was a cratedig find from atleast four years ago and i know for certain that i picked it on the strength that had a lot of remixes. the single had some r&b/hiphop versions for radio and/or the club, a really good jungle version by mc moose and then a couple of versions by david morales. the original was a nice r&b tune but i think the jungle mix and morales' house remix is the strongest.
what made like latter was that it wasn't completely like morales other work. i say that because while a solid chunk of the track plays like classic def mix material it does go into darker territories. it's when gayle's vocals are taken out of the spectrum that morales throws in elements that aim for the smaller rooms. the brightest example is the beginning where you hear this stabby organ riff that sounds more like tenaglia than morales.
after it has it's course the track plays straight and it's a fairly funky groove that really compliments michelle's singing as it has a slight gospel feel. after the chorus is sung there is a small transitional part and it goes into this barren part where you hear these dark pads. the arrangement that is done during the break is classic tensionbuilding with delay effects and such.
i quite like when morales did these type of remixes where it went into the smaller rooms or had more of a progressive sound. satoshi tomiie would perfect this sound later on when he stepped out def mix and i really thought that he was involved with this remix as well but he's not. anyhow, great track and one of my favourite morales productions.
