A classic 90s R&B single with sweet, swaying guitar and chorus.
A single released by the female R&B group Pure Soul in 1995. Produced by Teddy Riley, this sophisticated neo-soul track is layered with richly harmonious vocals, giving it an urban feel.
The bass and snare drums create an impressive groove from the beginning, while the cutting guitar tightens the rhythm. As a vocal group, Pure Soul layers their soft vocals against the beat, with the lead and chorus organically intertwining. While possessing a neo-soul quality, the song also features a structure reminiscent of classic Motown hits throughout. The 12-inch format provides ample sound pressure, and the disc also includes instrumentals and remixes suitable for DJ use. This single exemplifies outstanding quality in the R&B scene of the time, and can be considered one of the highlights of Pure Soul's career. The excellent balance between vocals and instrumentation, coupled with a tight sound image, provides listeners with a refined soul sound.
