'Wish' is the new Soul II Soul single due for release on 25th October '93... Mainman Jazzie B, AKA Beresford Romeo, started the collective in the early 1980s and they have had numerous UK hits to date, such as 'Keep On Moving', 'Back To Life' and 'Joy'.It's the second time SIIS have shown up on this blog, but unfortunately both mentions have been from this point in the mid-1990s. Their time at the centre of the musical universe had already elapsed and they'd drifted into a certain blandness. 'Wish' was the token new track from a singles collection and as such is perhaps not the track they worked hardest on, but although it's not unpleasant to listen to it does nothing to attract interest or retain it. Jazzie's rap sounds especially thrown in.
One little bit of trivia - the vocalist on this track is Melissa Bell, whose daughter Alexandra Burke went on to win X-Factor 15 years later and thus appears on a few Now! albums herself.
