in 2005 i heard a song on radio and television by swedish house act spånka nkpg with singer marit bergman, i was already quite a fan of the them both but more of the prior. i really didn't like the on-off single "do you wanna ride?" that they did with equestrian malin baryard but "she can't love you" was buzzing and i held it as one of my favourite songs of that year. the song became a mainstay in several of my sets long after it was released and i still pop it on every once a while.
a few years after that i was visiting the beat electric blog and they put up chemise's original but i didn't know of it but i saw the title and wondered if there was a link. sure enough i recognized those keys, bassline and the lyrics and my mind was blown and i wanted to hunt down chemise's original. noted that this project was a collaboration between the spouses ricki byers muldrow and ronald muldrow, parents of georgia ann muldrow.
there is that lovely eighties boogie vibe imprinted with most of the elements synthesised. gritty sounds that floats in and out all over a groove consisting of programmed linn drums and a buzzing synth bass. of course this song wouldn't be without the amazing vocal that rickie byers muldrow, from the beginning with the conversational bits to the break where she ad-libs in the all variations of the hook.
