Review by ledjfab Jun 12, 2008

While The Ones themselves admit to have used a sample of "Weekend" by Class Action for the very first version of 'Flawless', some pointed out the Phunk Investigation remixes sounded like an old song of Gary's Gang called 'Keep On Dancin' (1978). Hear for yourself: the 'Italo Disco Mix' of 'Flawless' (not included on this single edition) clearly seems to have been the primary inspiration behind all the remixes released afterwards. Another 'cosmic' sound seems to have been sampled from "Wordy Rappinghood" by Tom Tom Club, but nothing is credited officially.
All the tracks on this single are quite similar: The vocal edit and mix have a rap part included, while the Club mixes omits these vocals. The Dub is different, but monotonous and very repetitive. The vocal and club mixes are a sure value.
'Flawless' went on to be very popular: it even 'inspired' George Michael to add more lyrics to it and to re-release it as 'Flawless (Go The City)' not so long after with more remixes.
