Highly underrated italo dance song right here! The "Original Version" is the prime mix, it starts off w/ a samba beat but about 1:30 time, the song turns rapidly into pure italo dance sound of 2000. I think it's been overlooked because of this intro... See full review

My top song on BXR Italian label is the B1 track, "Yahoo Mix" of www.tonyh.com, it's got the precise BXR-style, but a hell of a gorgeous melody strewn on top. It's not often the heavy-ass bass lines meet such synths so well. A+

Excellent, unique sound. "Looking 4 Love (Master DJ Club Version)" is the best version on the 12" in my opinion. Extremely melodic with thick accented female vocals. Pushes into trance territory, but still italodance at heart.
