Follow The Rules (Livin' Joy Song)
"Follow the Rules'" is a song recorded by Italian electronic music group Livin' Joy featuring American singer Tameko Star (a.k.a. Doris Diggs). It was released in 1996 by MCA as the third single from the group's only album, '' Don't Stop Movin'' (1996). The song, written by Star with producer brothers Visnadi, was the follow-up to " Don't Stop Movin'", which had been a number-one hit in Italy. The new single peaked at number three on the Italian singles chart, number nine in the UK and number twelve in Finland. It can be described as an anthemic dance track based around the message of following your dreams and making them come true. In style it was similar to its predecessor, but with a heavier piano house/organ sound. Critical reception A reviewer from ''Music Week'' rated the song four out of five, describing it as "another storming anthem", that "will be another biggie and rouse interest in the album". In an retrospective review, Pop Rescue noted that the song "has some delici ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
