Review by budnik Jun 12, 2008

For me, it's all about the Bump & Flex Vocal Mix, although the Hardstep Dub got the plays back in the day. This to me, is exactly how UK Garage should sound, and did - when i was a real head. Now, it disheartens me to see how its gone.

This is a very R&B flavoured cut. It's got that typical Bump & Flex groove with the mildly warping bassline and crisp breaks. It's also got those slinky bad attitude female vocals, which i kinda like. They fit the groove well. Melody comes from some nice stabs and guitar. It's very reminiscent of Grants "N'n'G feat Kallaghan "Right Before My Eyes" (which was a big hit in the UK).

This track should have been big, but it never got the push or marketing it deserved. Shame, good track.
