'"Express"' is a 1993 song by British artist Dina Carroll, released as the fifth single from her first album, 'So Close'. The song was a notable success in Europe, peaking at number 12 in the UK charts. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 44 in June 1993.

Critical reception



Jon O'Brien from AllMusic noted the "jazz-funk" of the song. Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' commented that Carroll "uses the Bowie trick of implementing a weird noise just beyond the irritation factor. Very Dina-mic dance stuff." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' gave it three out of five, noting that she "vamps it up on this pop/funk confection, one of the lesser tracks from her outstanding debut album 'So Close'." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update called it a "choppy jiggler". Pop Rescue said that the singer's vocals are "whispery, sometimes sultry". Phil Shanklin of ReviewsRevues stated that it "is unlike anything else on the album. A funky track with a honking sax Dina comes off like a one-woman En Vogue in this club stomper." Adam Higginbotham from 'Select' described it as "solid, tastefully-cut soul bleeding subtly into brisk garage beats" and added that it is "careful funky". Another editor, Rupert Howe complimented the song's "aspiration towards funkiness".
