Another fine production from the Basement Boys. Michelle's voice is as powerful as ever, and the lyrics are inspirational (if not original). The "Horny" mix is punctuated by staccato - you've guessed it - horns, while syncopated keys and solid rhythm programming keep the groove...well, grooving in the usual garage way. The "Buzz Vocal" mix ditches the horns but adds a funky guitar and a churchy organ. A radio mix is also provided, along with an instrumental which gets a bit tedious unless you have lungs large enough to sing along in a similar style. Children, don't try it at home! So, nothing unusual here, just pure gospel garage.
