MUSIC WEEK, 24 DECEMBER 1994
LOVELAND
In the past year, production team Loveland have been an almost constant
feature in the dance charts. Whether it's been with their own tracks
like 'Let The Music (Lift You Up)' and '(Keep On) Shining' or via a
multitude of remixes, it's been difficult to miss them. Barbara Tucker,
East 17, Teddy Pendergrass and Atlantic Ocean, are just a few of the
artists who have enjoyed a helping hand from Paul Taylor, Paul Waterman
and Mark Hadfield. However, the group's moment could be around the
corner with the release of their new single 'I Need Somebody'. The track
is a cover of Keicha Jenkin's 1987 garage smash and features the vocal
skills of gospel singer Rachel McFarlane. Paul Taylor says, "We don't
want to be known as a cover band but when we demo-ed the song it sounded
great. Also, we would never have tried to cover the song if it were not
for Rachel and the fact that we thought we could really do it justice."
With 25 remixes in the past year, Loveland are wary of spreading
themselves too thinly, "We're conscious of overkill. In 1995, we'll be
doing less remixes and more actual producting, including our own album,"
says Taylor. 'I Need Somebody' is released on January 2 by Eastern Bloc.
