Eternal 'Save Our Love'

Chart Peak: 8

YouTube
Easther, Vernie, Louise and Kelle are Eternal... 'Save Our Love', which made No. 8 in January 1994, was the London Girls' 2nd UK smash and followed 'Stay' into the Top 10.

I think this is the first track that's been entirely new to me. I've mentioned before that I didn't hear 'The Sign' at the time, but at least I know it now; whereas to the extent that anyone remembers Eternal at all now this seems to be overshadowed by later hits. Mind you, it is just about possible that I did hear this record at some point in the past and just forgot about it, because it's not a very distinctive record. 'Save Our Love' is solid but standard-issue female RnB of the times, chiefly notable for having been co-written by the Eddie from Charles & Eddie. And possibly also for the fact that the title of their previous hit is repeated several times in this one.

It's impossible to be very critical of this, but not much easier to be very positive because they haven't given us a lot to work on here. A non-entity of a song really.
