"'Take Me Away'" is a 1992 song by Italian group Cappella. It samples American singer Loleatta Holloway's 1980 track, "Love Sensation", and was released via various European labels, as a single only. A big hit in clubs, it reached the Top 30 in both the UK and Ireland, where it peaked at number 25 and number 17.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described it as "a technotinged hi-NRG rave", adding, "The Italo-producer/DJ interweaves her vocals into a spiraling arrangement of synths that are alternately rough and disco-smooth. Break out the platform boots for this one, kids!" James Hamilton from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update noted that Holloway's acappella of 'Love Sensation' "once again provides the vocal samples for an italo house pounder, this consequently old fashioned but powerful urgent galloper". Sian Pattenden from 'Smash Hits' wrote, "This record is more stormin' than a hurricane and has whirlwinds of plinkety plonky syntherisms to boot. It bounces along delightfully. Hurrah! Runner-up Single Of The Fortnight."
