Editorial Reviews
3.5 Stars out of 5 - Good - ...This self-produced album is not one long throbbing dance marathon; the group's unifying vision of emotive pop music pulls together a collection of actual songs. They're all emboldened by Heather Small's lustrous contralto, catchy melodies and a house-music undertow...Spin (6/95, p.99) - 7 - Flawed Yet Worthy - ...Although the instrumentation...relies on traditional musicianship rather than samples, the riffs and tunes quote liberally from 30 years of American R&B. M People's consistently substantial songs generate much body heat...Entertainment Weekly (5/19/95, p.63) - ...has more than its share of house-quaking grooves. Their secret. Delectable R&B-based arrangements layered on top of the beat and Heather Small's smoky, ecstasy-or-bust voice... - Rating: A-Musician (5/95, pp.90-92) - ...a dream you can dance to....is no longer interested in charting the outer limits of clubland, but rather turning the underground sounds of yesterday--lush disco sweeps with butt-burning basslines, sway-your-arms choruses--into today's hits...
