""I Never Knew" hit the top of the Billboard Dance/Club charts in 2002, and at least briefly brought the Queen Of Disco back to her throne.



Gloria's comeback began in 2001 when "Just Keep Thinking About You" was released. In all honesty, I was unimpressed with that track. But then "I Never Knew" came out, and in my opinion is more of a real club anthem that brought her back to true form.



The first track on this single is truly the standout: the HQ2 Mix (Hex Hector/Mac Quayle). This mix is a peak-hour, high-energy house club anthem all the way, with just enough of a retro feel to remind you that, yes indeed, this is Gloria Gaynor you are listening to. The production is impeccable, her vocals sound fantastic, and the lyrics are uplifting and spiritual. HQ2 has put out some great mixes and this one is guaranteed to pack a dance floor.



The Cruz & Bagz mix is good as well. It's not as over the top as the HQ2 Mix, but that allows Gloria's vocals to be even more prominent. A nice alternative.
