Which female singer has re-worked I wanna be your lover?

I was in a fashion store a few days ago and on the sound system came a new version of 'I wanna be your lover'. Does anyone know who has done it? I like her version, it's good.

The only one I know is Meshell Ndegeocello.

Well, I doubt it was the version you heard, but the incomparable Millie Jackson did a version in '86.

Im sure it wasn't the version released by Gayle and Gillian the twins from Neighbours in the early 1990s!

I think the version that I heard was Corrine Bailey Rae. I thought it sounded like her on first hearing it. Thanx Tatocorcu!

I'm certain it's Corinne. She dropped in on her Love EP just a month or so ago.
