I may be rushing to judgement, but this track is awesome and probably better than anything on the official album! (Too much!?)

Perfect bridge between the Graffiti Bridge era and Diamonds and Pearls!

It's a great track! But I wouldn't go that far. It also sounds like it could have done with a little bit
more work, perhaps? Seems like a demo to me. A very far along demo, but a demo still.

I like it.

I don't think it would have been a good fit for the album. I could imagine it being on an album with tracks like Allegiance and Get Blue

I get a more of a late 80's vibe from it.

I like multi tracked vocals on the Chorus.

It goes well with the Martika songs and other stuff from the era nod

There's a whole 10 song album on this set that sounds a bit more like early 90's music
and a little sprinkle of new jack swing. And I like that idea, I'm looking forward to just
making a cool playlist of such tracks to enjoy as an 'album that never was'.

To me it sounds more like "American In Paris" meets "Don't Say U Love Me"

You all know a lot more than I do but the first thing that came to my mind when I heard it was The Time's Pandemonium album.

Regardless of any of that, I absolutely love this song.

Totally agree.

I did that with the other sets.

2 albums for each set.

Agree it sounds like a Martika demo - with that swingbeat vibe about it.
A precursor to Pheremone as well?

Sheila E sang this at the Family Jamm in 2003 and I wanted to know what/where this song came from.

It sounds like he trying to emulate the current R&B of that era with the same chord progression they were using

Is any song by any artist going to be 'Earth shattering'?

IT'S IMMENSE!! Wish it was on a twelve though

Does anyone reckon it'll be a standalone seven at least? Not paying 100 quid for. box of sevens that i already own just for this one track a bit louder than it will be on the box :/

Loving this! Groove gives some Teddy Riley & New Jack Swing vibes. Hint of Batman era in the background vocals, or maybe it's that sweep reverb effect.
