"'Pressure'" is a 1991 dance single recorded by the British techno group Sunscreem, and written and produced by band members Paul Carnell and lead singer Lucia Holm from the act's 1993 set *'O3'. "Pressure" was the group's first single release in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 60 on the country's pop chart, but it became a major club hit in the United States in wake of the success of "Love U More", where it was released as "Pressure US" with a new remixed version and went to number one on the dance chart for one week in June 1993,[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1993-06-05/dance-club-play-songs Hot Dance Club Songs, Billboard.com, issue date June 5, 1993] their second of three number ones. The re-released version reentered the UK charts afterwards, peaking at number 19 in 1993.
Critical reception
Upon the release of the 1993 version, Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "British rave band aims to build on radio interest generated by the previous "Love U More" with a tune that blends an anthemic chorus with attitudinal rapping and urgent instrumentation. Cut is an excellent showcase for front woman Lucia Holm's unusual voice and videogenic charm. Already packing dance floors, track is a natural for crossover and top 40 radio. A gem from the potent '"O3"' album." Music writer James Masterton said in his weekly UK chart commentary, "A mellow kind of trance-dance track, for want of a better categorisation and being yet another single off an album that appeals only to specific fans it is unlikely to progress further."
