Wikipedia article
"'Falling'" is a song by British singer-songwriter, record producer and actress Cathy Dennis, released in the UK in 1993, as the third single from her second album, 'Into the Skyline'. The single version was remixed by American hip hop and R&B act PM Dawn. This recording lead to Dennis singing backing vocals on their hit single "Looking Through Patient Eyes".
Critical reception
A reviewer from 'Billboard' described the song as "a seductive love-call". Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The lass from Norwich who has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming a superstar all over the world except in her home country. As a result, predicting the path of this, the third single from her latest album, is a little difficult. The single version is however billed as 'The PM Dawn Version' which may give it a slightly better chance than in its original Shep Pettibone mix." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' called it a "stomper" and stated that it's a "potential hit". Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' rated it four out of five. He added, "This rather uninspiring mid-tempo song sounds more like an LP track than an obvious single. It benefits from a PM Dawn remix, but a Top 40 placing remains a possibility rather than a certainty."
Music video
The music video for "Falling" was very much stylized as Dennis' scene shot in black and white with a glittery background. There are extras (especially white mice) that can be seen, as well as everything falling like nails, paper glitters, thumbtacks and the Cathy Dennis doll.
