“One of the best male vocal albums the UK has produced” wrote editor Chris Wells in Echoes magazine of the 1993 album by Dome’s first R&B signing Sinclair.
The album – a UK street soul classic – is now reissued with two added tracks “Sometimes” (previously unreleased) and “Stay With Me Tonight” plus a bonus CD of mixes by, among others, the Ethnic Boyz, Joey Negro, Ashley Beedle, US 3 and American mixer Ken Kessie, whose mix credits include many of the classic En Vogue hits.
Wherever you went in London in the summer of 1992 and 1993 you were bound to hear the voice of Sinclair and his street soul anthems “I Want You Back” and “Ain’t No Casanova”, and he went on to be voted Best Male Vocalist at the Black Music Awards.
A reviewer wrote following the Top 30 success of “Casanova”: “Mike Sinclair surely nailed the sound of the summer – pure, infectious, a joy”.
Steve Hobbs in Blues and Soul magazine described Sinclair’s self-composed ballad ‘It’s Over’ as “one of the best British soul records ever – it sounds like a Maurice White production on Billy Griffin”.
That track and more than half the album is produced by Ashley Ingram, former Imagination bass player/vocalist, also responsible for production of much of Des’Ree’s recorded work.
