Robert Miles featuring Maria Nayler 'One And One'

Chart Peak: 3

YouTube
DJ/Producer Robert Miles has had 3 major British hits in the last year. The Brit-Award winning Italian first hit with 'Children', then 'Fable' and then this tune - the haunting 'One And One' which was a Top 3 smash in late '96.

His first vocal hit, 'One & One' was co-written by Billy Steinberg and Rick Nowels, names I'd associate more with Belinda Carlisle than European trance. Indeed I half-expected it to be a cover of one of Carlisle's album tracks or something, but apparently not. Still, it's the kind of style you'd expect from the credits, and was presumably added to the album in an attempt to get a hit in America. Nayler has a pretty, breathy voice and the finished product is breezy and radio-friendly, but underwhelming.
