SUNRISE is an instant love for every great music appreciator, more of a certain age group and class to be exact.
The Hall & Oats I CAN'T GO FOR THAT sample serves as a perfect base and it turn out that Mick Hucknall's syntherisation seems to be a great part 2 of the original 80's smash hit.
This single has all the familiar factors of the best of 80's New England Romantic pop. The radio edit track alone can be comfortably compared to most of the essential dance remixes by Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Lisa Stansfield etc in any time any places.
It deserves to be added in your collection of dance/pop singles and stay prominent in 2 years at least.

I have always admired Mick Hucknall's voice but never really been that into them (are they one of those groups that everyone says that of!?) I think this single is great, the marrying up of Hall and Oates is well done and the lyrics/song are fab. Even the video is sultry and suits the mood. HOWEVER the thing that lets this package down is the fact that the single version is only just over 3 mins long - I had hoped the remixes would add something - be dubbed out, slow and enticing, carrying on where the original left off - but no. Gone is the Hall and Oates sample and in it's place 2 turgid, cheesy old house mixes that totally detract from the beauty of the initial version. Don't get me wrong, I like dance music but sometimes you've got to think about your subject matter before attacking it.

Simply Red have never really been my thing- sure Picture Book, Men & Women, A New Flame & Stars have been in the background, but it has never really been my thang (so to speak)
But this single is excellent- sampling Hall & Oates 'I Can't Go For That' in an as original manner as De La Soul sampled the same white soul duo on 'Say No Go' (3 Ft High & Risng/1989). It's no lazy bootleg-style song (see Sugababes, Liberty X)- it takes the Hall & Oates original & applies it to a song that would be just as great acoustically- the two fuse together perfectly- as great as tracks that rely on samples such as Bittersweet Symphony, The Man Don't Give a F*ck & The Lightning Seeds take on Gene Clark & The Turtles You Showed Me (1997). Hucknall interestingly uses his own vocal as if a sample on the chorus- reminding me of Scritti Politti/Mos Def/Lee Majors 'Tinsletown to the Boogiedown' (1999).
I'll probably be sick of this by the time it comes out, radio stations playing the single a decade before its release & all that, but I have to admit it's rather a top pop song & much more the state of things, alongside the new Moloko single, than silliness like Pop Idol etc.
