    This song changed everything. That bassline, the synth chords, the chord changes. She took The System, D Train, The Gap Band, and Herbie and mixed it up and created a MONSTER. An anti love song that makes you feel good. Classic.

    A white girl from Toronto comes out with a banging smash hit that has SOUL written all over it. Never gets old. The chord progressions on this are stonking - and the chords in that middle 8 leading up to the synth solo - goosebumps. Jamal - you were 'feelin' it!

    Brah, loved this reaction. Been watching your reactions for years now and I don't really comment much but I recently rediscovered this one watching a "hits of 1991" thing and remember how back in the day when my mom got MTV they played this video A LOT, and as a keyboard guy I always took note how funky that bass line was and much that solo SLAMS! Anyway, keep up the good work. My shoulders were bumping too!
