Review by mousemusic Apr 17, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Kerri Chandler was asked in an interview about his definition of House Music. He just answered that House Music was Love. This record just epitomizes what House Music is. Kym Mazelle delivers a stunning vocal performance, shouting all her despair and disappointment. David Morales top production builds, emphasises and maximizes a highly dramatic atmosphere. After long, meditative introductions, Kym Mazelle powerful voice finally finds its way to the listener's ears, exploding in an ecstatic achievement, while the cleverly added piano lines enlarge the musical spectrum. One of House Music's Mount Rushmores in my opinion.
Rated 5/5
Review by Alain_Patrick Sep 13, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
The elegant (and powerful) vocals of Kym Mazelle in “Useless (I Don’t Need You Now)” are situated among what we should call the eternal lyrics of the history of the dance music. "Useless" tells a story about a girl blaming her boy by all means, in a very sarcastic and ironic way. Congratulations must also be given to Marshall Jefferson, who produces the tune, David Morales for these remixes, and Eric Kupper, for the piano lines. "There's a void where there should be ecstasy" sample was used on 'Lords Of The Null-Lines' hardcore piece by Hyper On Experience; the "How Longer" italo-house tune of 49ers also borrowed fragments of Kym's acappella, and the same did Exoterix in "Void", though perhaps the most well-known artist to pick up a part of Kym Mazelle's vocals was Gianfranco Bortolotti in his Anticappella project with "2SQR231".
