Refreshingly Good

"I heard this song by accident! I turned on the TV one evening and Emma was performing it for a Chat Show she was a guest on.What an absolutely refreshing song! Just what we need in this time of hard core and miserable lyrics that are being churned out like rancid butter.It is so 1960s I agree, and despite what people say there was a kind of innocence during that age of sexual freedom and revolution.This is a catchy song, makes your foot move in time to the beat, is also quite romantic and it would be wonderful as a Theme Tune for a movie, perhaps the next Austin Powers movie which I think has been mentioned in another review. I could not agree more! Do you yourself a favour see the video too, it's great fun and Emma is delightful in it as well as being an excellent singer, (the one I am ashamed to say I thought would not succeed out of the Spice Girls but I am glad I was wrong! I will also admit I was not a Spice girl fan, but as individual artists, well that is a different matter!) The second song on the CD single release is a gentle Ballard that probably won?t make the charts but is lovely slow song, sang with feeling and easy on the ear. A good buy that you can play over and over again.PS. Oh and the club mix of the main song Maybe is really good too!"

Not Maybe - Yes please!

"Asserting her individuality from her Spice sisters Emma Bunton's talent is proven with this great 60's style stomper - and what a refreshing change it is. Sounding like nothing else in the charts Emma channels the talents of Cilla Black , Sandie Shaw and every other Carnaby Street starlet in a song that's part Ready Steady Go, part 60's Eurovision Song Contest and part cocktail party. Her stylists have worked overtime to give her a matching video and image complete with dancers in op art mod gear, outrageous 60's stylings and crazy dance moves - it's like an explosion at Biba. Maybe is such a perfect package and so dreamily individual I'll bet Kylie's kicking herself for having not thought of it first. I'm looking forward to the album after this stunning introduction."

One of the best singles of the decade

"Wonderful choice for a single. It's so upbeat, funny, catchy that you can't help but singing or even dancing along. It's the best song on the album, it represents perfectly well what Emma wanted her album to sound like: a journey back to the '60s!, but a great one, just like only miss B could imagine. Even the remixes are quite good. Give it a shot!."
