We’re talking about a groove that’s been captivating hearts and moving feet since it’s released in 1985. I’m talking about “Something About You,” that sensational single from the iconic English jazz-funk band Level 42. This track is pure magic.
Released far and wide, not just in the UK, but also hitting the airways of the US, Germany, Italy, Canada, and so many more countries. This country transcends borders. And guess what? It’s the only Level 42 song to smack right into the top 10 here in the states, reaching an impressive number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 for those glorious weeks of May 31 and June 7, 1986. What a triumph.
And the excitement didn’t stop there. The track also shimmed it’s way too number six on the UK singles chart making it their second top 10 hit in their home country.
Something About You didn’t capture a moment. It’s been immortalized in numerous level 42 collections. Whether you’re flipping through “Level Best,” “The Very Best of level 42,” or the “Definitive Collection,” you’ll find this sumptuous track, enticing listeners, old and new.
Now let’s not forget the masterpiece of a music video that gray style screens directed by the talented Stewart Orme - who’s no stranger to creating visual magic with musicians like Phil Collins and Genesis. The video presents the shorter single version that showcases the songs undeniable charm.
I’m Gail Nobles you’re listening to Multi-Tunes. The music lives on and trust me. There’s definitely something about this song “Something About You,” that makes it a classic.
