Vaguely remembered this from when it was released but it was hearing it out (saturday afternoon shopping somewhere if you must know) some time in the mid 00s when I rediscovered it, and now its comfortably one of my favourite 90s house tunes.
Her books are good aswell.

There was talk of a ‘catch’ in the voice. its here in the opening few bars of the vocal. Not a bad tune for an australian born country singer…
wow. bump! great idea
There are great voices who can really SING, and then there are people who can really DELIVER a song. Often not the same people (eg Grace Jones).
Loleatta Holloway though.

& as @grantham_disco says, all the drama. You know you have to listen to the end to see where she’s gonna take it. Love it.
