this should of been released as the single.her best dance-pop outing since ''physical''.and the shep pettibone remix of ''the rumour''.just an opinion....peace.
Neal -- great minds think alike! I think if the remix version of "The Rumour" had been promoted, rather than the album track (or just put on the album, as it wasn't that much longer), as well as "I Need Love" - she might have fared better. Both nice songs, but lacked the "oomph" needed to chart high by then that was present in their remixes...
Agree with other comments that this should have been the single version. At the time, it felt like it went well with George Michael's Too Funky...at least on my mix tapes!!
If she'd released this after Soul Kiss it would have done better. The Rumour song was last added to the album to make it a little more commercial because the materials on The rumour were more political focused. Let's not talk about Warm and Tender which took her out the pop market for years. I need love came too late in the game. Olivia's Grace and Gratitude era became her focus till this present day. Not the Olivia we all wanted. It is what it is I guess

My local radio station played this remix as their official version.
Another underated song❤️
This is the first song came up to my mind after hearing she passed away because it was a release right before she got cancer. RIP.
Great song - this version should have been released. Love the lyrics.
It was released in Australia, I had it on CD

I love this version of this song! This is the version that should have been released.

Releasing this version could have given her another major hit. Love this mix
I thought it was boring , the mixes were a let down , the Album version is much better

My god she was stunning ❤️❤️❤️
I bet i'm at least 1,000 of the views on this video lol. Best song of Olivia's.
My local radio station played this version back in 1992.
Like gold!!! ONJ & Tommy Musto❤️
This version is better than the 7" version.
Pure perfection Olivia say no more
Love it.
An AMAZING Olivia!
¡Pedazo de muyerona! Great tune!

I guess i'm in the minority I prefer the original version over this remix. Shame this single didn't do well, underrated for sure!
