Not a great singer, but a great single!

"I must be honest here. This girl isn't much of a vocalist, but she obviously knows a hit single when she sees it. Her tone is pleasant enough, but her voice isn't what is so attention grabbing about this single. The overall rhythm of this song is insanely infectious, not to mention highly addictive. Normally I can't stand listening to music that contains pitchy vocals, but somehow Lumidee makes this song fun to listen to. This cd-single in particular contains 4 tracks: The original album version, 2 club mixes, and a Spanish version that, oddly, makes Lumidee's fairly limited voice sound better than in English. The fluidness of the Spanish lyrics seem to give Lumidee's voice a much needed boost. From what I've heard, this song is the only one worth listening to from Lumidee's debut album "Almost Famous." So, will Lumidee be a one hit wonder? Quite possibly yes. Regardless, I still enjoy this single and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys catchy, breezy pop-R&B."
