It was written by Moyet and producers Jolley & Swain. The song peaked within the top ten on both the Irish and the UK Singles Chart, and also reached the top twenty in Switzerland. Critical reception Upon release, Paul Bursche of ''Number One'' praised the song as following up "Love Resurrection" with "ease". He commented: "In no way am I the first to rave about this exquisite voice, nor, I suspect, shall I be the last. But I wouldn't let the voice distract me from the song. Alison Moyet not only has a great voice, she's also some songwriter." Jim Reid of ''Record Mirror'' commented: "Over a smoothly winding Imagination type backing, Alf offers a perfunctory plea of passion that says more about her vocal coach than her state of mind." Frank Edmonds of the '' Bury Free Press'' gave the song an 8 out of 10 rating and described ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

UK Independent Singles And Albums Charts
The UK Independent Singles Chart and UK Independent Albums Chart are charts of the best-selling independent singles and albums, respectively, in the United Kingdom. Originally published in January 1980, and widely known as the indie chart, the relevance of the chart dwindled in the 1990s as major-label ownership blurred the boundary between independent and major labels. Separate independent charts are currently published weekly by the Official Charts Company. History In the wake of punk, small record labels began to spring up, as an outlet for artists that were unwilling to sign contracts with major record companies, or were not considered commercially attractive to those companies. By 1978, labels like Cherry Red, Rough Trade, and Mute had started up, and a support structure soon followed, including independent pressing, distribution and promotion. These labels got bigger and bigger, and by 1980 they were having Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart. Chart success was limited, h ...
