another song or track that i've discovered when purchasing random cd-singles without having a clue on the song at hand. in this case the cosign was on of finland's finest doing a remix and i was quite into the works of hulkkonen at the time and still am. for this single it was doing the house-remix for the floors as the original was a sort of swanky breakbeat tune.
fact is that the original has it's je ne se qouai but i think the vocal and track doesn't glue together and this is why i don't think it's anything special. pepe deluxé lifted an intro from american rhythm and blues acts the president's "girl you cheated on me" from the album "5-10-15-20-25-30 years of love". it's a bluesy opener with a churchy organ going about in the background and tony boyd talking about a lover who's cheated on him with some harmonising at points.
after that it goes of into a quite a bumping soul number with a bassline that pepe deluxé replayed but hulkkonen took another route for bassline, vocals and melody. the vocal was reformatted a bit to to be most streamlined and letting the words "cheating me" be the punchline of sorts. the track at hand is a textbook example of hulkkonen's funky grooves that builds slowly and impacts heavily.
