"'One More Try'" is a 1995 song by American club music singer Kristine W, released as the second single from her debut album, 'Land of the Living' (1996). It narrowly missed the Top 40 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 41. In the US, it reached number-one on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart, and number 78 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart. In the Netherlands, "One More Try" peaked at number 16. Kristine W wrote the song after taking some friends to see her hometown and discovering her old junior high school had been condemned.

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote that the song, a long-anticipated follow-up to the massive "Feel What U Want" "is a true rarity in dance music. It makes a pensive and poignant lyrical point without clouding the track's overall potential to inspire active twitchin' and twirlin'. Producers Rollo and Rob D. have created a grand disco/house arrangement that allows Kristine to shine like the star she deserves to be." He also complimented the track as a "fun and blippy house anthem". Daina Danin from 'Cash Box' stated that "club fave Kristine W has a gorgeous, throaty voice and this lush, soulful dance track is already popular in New York City clubs through a Junior Vasquez remix, along with airplay on NY's WKTU and Philly's WIOQ."

William Stevensen from 'Entertainment Weekly' deemed it as an "infectious anthem". Daisy & Havoc from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update rated it four out of five, adding, "Kristine W's new song is appealing in a subtle, miserable kind of way and it's made minimal and atmospheric by one Rollo & Sister Bliss mix and large and pounding by the other." Joey Bolsadura from 'Muzik' called it "splendid". Ben Wener from 'Orange County Register' described it as "irresistible".

Music video



A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by British director Lindy Heymann. She also directed the video for Kristine W's debut single, "Feel What You Want".
