"'Take My Advice'" is a song by American singer Kym Sims, co-written and produced by Steve "Silk" Hurley. It is the follow-up to her successful 1991 debut-single, "Too Blind to See It" and was released as the second single from her album by the same name. It became a club hit and peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and number five on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the US. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 42. In 2015, Sims released new remixes, as "Take My Advice" (The 2015 Remixes) Part 1 and 2.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described the song as a "engaging, pop-flavored houser", noting that a "star-quality vocal performance is inflected with a proper helping of sass and charm". He also added that the influence of producer Steve "Silk" Hurley is prominent, "which should help keep dancefloors filled." Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' said it "has all those same unique qualities that make Kym's music and sound so special." A reviewer from 'Music Week' commented that "songwise, it tries a little too hard to be poppy, while the production is lacklustre by Hurley's admittedly very high standards. However, it still stands a good chance of crossing over." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update called it a "catchy, lightweight follow-up". British newspaper 'Newcastle Evening Chronicle' said it is one of the best songs of the album.'Newcastle Evening Chronicle'. May 6, 1992. p. 32. Retrieved November 28, 2020. Pop Rescue deemed it the "ideal follow up" to "Too Blind to See It". Sylvia Patterson from 'Smash Hits' gave the song three out of five, commenting, "this one's got fantastically weedy rap bits in it", adding that "this will be another gigantic merry house winner."
