Wikipedia article
'"Down That Road"' is the debut single from British singer-songwriter Shara Nelson's first solo album, 'What Silence Knows', released in 1993 on Cooltempo Records. It peaked at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart, and was also a number one hit on the European Dance Radio Chart and a Top 20 hit on the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Critical reception
Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "Shara Nelson makes her Top 40 debut with a fairly standard piece of pop-soul but with continued airplay may well breach the Top 10 if she is lucky." Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' described it as "a classy song that grows in stature the more you hear it." He added, "Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne's Perfecto Mix is surprisingly funky while Frankie Foncett opts for the soulful vocals." Brad Beatnik from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update wrote, "Strings, horns, funky keys and thumping rhythms are the hallmarks of this classy debut by the former Massive vocalist." He added it as "poppy". Another editor, James Hamilton called it a "plaintive Massive Attack girl's subtle anti-seggregation message".
