Title: Way too superfluous...
Product review: Finally, another single from the amazing Erin Hamilton comes our way. Her muscled voice, sounding very assured here, is more than capable of carrying this R&B standard with finese and confidence; and from the sounds of it, the aggressive beat of her last outings is becoming her instrumental trademark. So my complaint is not with her reading at all, but with the lack of Erin that appears on this nearly 70 minute disc. Of the eight tracks here, five are dub mixes that reduce her vocal to mere percussive accents, making for superfluously extended (hence, boring) remix treatments. Van Cleave's remix--which includes Erin's full vocal-- is by far the best track here. Other's may have rivaled his work (Tony Estrada, specifically) had vocal versions been chosen for inclusion over basically instrumentals. After all, it is Erin's voice that drives this song so perfectly. Everything else is along for the ride.
