Review by Ben Byrom

Bizarre Fruit II, the fourth studio album by British band M People, was released in 1995 and received critical acclaim for its unique blend of house, soul, and pop music. The album features a diverse range of tracks, from the upbeat and funky "Sight for Sore Eyes" to the soulful ballad "Just for You."

Lead vocalist Heather Small's powerful voice shines on every track, particularly on the emotional ballad "Angel St." and the uplifting anthem "Dreaming." The album also features collaborations with legendary house music producer Frankie Knuckles and jazz-funk band Incognito.

Nice tune, weird video. At 0:53 Shovell legit looks like he came straight from a Linkin Park/Papa Roach shoot.

I VIVIDLY REMEMBER this airing on BET several times in the afternoon in Summer 1995 on a show called "Video Vibrations". I used to wait for this video to come on TV just so I could record it onto VHS tape. I was looking for this on U.S. Spotify today and couldn't find it, so I came to find this YouTube copy. This was a YEAR before Spice Girls came out with "Wannabe".
