Eternal - I Wanna Be The Only One (feat. BeBe Winans)

Link

I've been very harsh on Eternal in the past but this is definitely their big hit, the 4th single off their 3rd album.

Don't know why I find it so good, but it really took things up another notch from them.

Really good R&B pop.

Amen UK - Passion

And this brings us to the very end of NOW 36!

A strong album overall, but definitely a drop off at the end, another dance track that's wasted on me here.

Anyway, we jump forward to July 1997 tomorrow, NOW 37!

DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima

This one however, hasn't held up very well.

DJ Quicksilver is a German-Turkish DJ who had a few hits, this being one of the biggest, floating somewhere between trance and house I guess.

Sash! - Encore Une Fois

Link

Very much Eurodance here, German DJ group Sash! had quite a bit of success of their debut album It's My Life in 1997.

This was the album's second single and did very well, hitting number 1 in Ireland even, and I honestly think it still holds up well, despite my misgivings with this type of dance music usually.

Really fun even now.

Ant & Dec - Shout

A solid-ish pop song, one of Ant & Dec's last singles before the tv career become the priority.

Not their best, but I still have a soft spot for them in the end.

Alisha's Attic - Indestructible

Link

Completely new to me, kind of like a modern Everything But The Girl, not particularly doing a lot for me.

Alisha's Attic were a duo consisting of 2 sisters, and had 3 albums from the late 90's into the early 00's, before moving instead towards a career in songwriting.

The Divine Comedy - Everybody Knows (Except You)

Link

I can dive in on this one for sure, The Divine Comedy are essentially Neil Hannon, the only consistent member, from Fermanagh on the Northern Irish side of the border here in Ireland.

Hannon's got this nice smooth style of orchestral like pop going on in a lot of their albums, this being off their 5th, A Short Album About Love.

One of the more poppier and successful hits, the Divine Comedy still are releasing music and still get lots of playtime here.

Plus Hannon wrote the theme song to Father Ted, which we still air regularly on Irish tv and is a timeless comedy.

Cathy Dennis - Waterloo Sunset

Link

The second single off Cathy Dennis' 3rd and final album, before turning to a career in songwriting, Waterloo Sunset is obviously a Kinks cover, and a song I enjoy dearly.

Weirdly, I watched the film BlackBerry (the one about the phones) literally yesterday, and they ended the movie with the original of this (due to the setting of Waterloo in Canada).

Anyway, a good song.

James - She's A Star

Link

The opening single off James' 7th album, Whiplash, and their 4th track to feature here.

James tried to adapt with the times (and are still trying), but never quite got their like the likes of Blur, nothing against them though.

Everything just lags a bit behind Sit Down really, this was their last top 10 single (besides a reworking of Sit Down).

Blur - Beetlebum

Link

Blur's opening single off their 5th album, their self titled 1997 album.

A different vibe from Blur, very much after moving out of their Britpop era and into a newer type of sound, paving the way not just for Blur's future, but also Gorillaz, and even Albarn's other projects.

Whilst not my favourite Blur release, there's no denying it's still a very good track and a worthy album opener, Blur rarely miss in my eyes.

Sheryl Crow - Everyday Is A Winding Road

Link

Sheryl Crow's second single off her second album, and for me it's a banger.

This was the follow up to If It Makes You Happy, but I think it's easily her best track, classic pop with an ever so slight sprinkle of country.

Always holds up.

Monaco - What Do You Want From Me?

Link

Very good stuff, Monaco was a side project put together by Peter Hook (then of New Order, formerly of Joy Division), and there's some noticeable similarities here, albeit with a slightly more poppy sound at times.

Very good, and I think I may own this as a single somewhere.

Placebo - Nancy Boy

Link

I can be a bit hit and miss when it comes to Placebo, but this is definitely one of their stronger entries.

This is one of their most successful singles, the 4th of their self titled debut album, and coming in an era where Britpop had firmly morphed into a sort of post-grunge alt rockin the UK I suppose.

A lot to like here.
