One of those records that seems to straddle the boundaries between novelty, dance and pop, 'Feel It' has some claim to be a precursor to some of the mash-up Number Ones of the early 21st century. No prizes for spotting the elements of 'Can You Feel It?' that give the song its title, but what fewer of us would have spotted is that the vocals come from 'Drop A House' by Junior Vasquez's unappealingly-named project Urban Discharge. Some of the other YouTube uploads imply that Maya sang on that too.
'Feel It' plays up the darkly desperate revenge tragedy, but (probably intentionally) goes so far as to drift over the edge into camp silliness. As such it's hard really to dislike, especially since the radio edit is sensibly brief. But it's hard to make a strong case for it now, either. What is notable is that it actually climbed to the top of the chart, which didn't happen much in those days; few tracks seemed to climb beyond their original entry point at all in 1998, although three that did are on this album.
