The year was 1991 and one of Jazzie B's muses Miss Victoria Wilson James has just dropped this delectable slice of swingbeat-infused neo soul. "Through", which was additionally remixed by another legend of the house scene - Frankie Knuckles, was a follow-up single to Wilson James' collaboration with Soul II Soul - the tremendous "A Dream's A Dream". Both tracks have been trending high on my playlists these past early-90's-nostalgia-themed weeks... I found it to be a good excuse to revive my "Lost Classics" thread.
Lisa Stansfield's euphoric new single "Everything" is here! The track heralds the release of her brand new studio album "Deeper" and brings us on a somewhat sentimental journey to the "Affection" days with its slick kaleidoscope of British soul, funk and dance pop. To celebrate the release of the song I am taking you back through the ever so luscious back-catalogue of tunes from the Manchester diva with my very subjective selection of her 20 greatest tracks to date.
