REMIXER: Junior Vasquez
Jellybean 054 (12-inch single)

Now that she's proved her ability to compose serious ballads and work a Broadway stage, Gibson has decided to have a little fun again. She hits the dancefloor with exhausting energy, romping through this fast-paced anthem with an infectious grin and a sing-along chorus. This may be characteristic of Gibson's past club glories, but it sure isn't indicative of superstar mixer Junior Vasquez's past efforts. He momentarily eschews the tribal darkness of his previous recordings in favor of a sunny sound that is awash in delightful, pastel-like keyboards. Perfect for the tambourine-shaking tea-dance set.
