"'Shine On'" is a song by American house music project Degrees of Motion, featuring vocals by Biti Strauchn and Kit West. It was originally released as a single from their album, 'Degrees Of Motion' (1991), in July 1992, peaking at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart. Following a re-release in March 1994, it charted higher, peaking at number eight on the same listing. It also reached number one on the UK Dance Singles Chart. A music video was produced to promote the single.

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described the song as "a rousing, gospel-flavored pop/houser. Anthemic chorus is empowered by Biti's inspiring lead vocal and a rush of choral chants. Fast picking up club adds, this contagious ditty is a worthy addition to pop and urban radio formats." Maria Jimenez from 'Music & Media' viewed it as "outstanding", adding that it "rides high on a positive tip charged by an up-tempo house beat." James Hamilton from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update called it a "frisky" and "striking Biti wailed snappy disco-garage canterer". Another editor, Andy Beevers deemed it an "excellent garage song".
