Wikipedia article
"'You Lied to Me'" is a 1992 song by British dance-pop singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis. It was released as the first single from her second album, 'Into the Skyline' (1992). In the US, it was a top 40 hit on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, while peaking at number 12 on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote that Dennis "twirls back onto the dance floor with an aggressive, attitudinal pop/houser". He added, "Teaming her up with club kingpin Shep Pettibone was an inspired move. He dresses her lovely voice with vigorous beats, layers of intricate keyboard effects, and an unshakable chorus. [...] Totally fierce." Another editor stated that Dennis' vocal range "has grown considerably, as proven on "You Lied To Me", which casts her as a swaggering diva". Randy Clark from 'Cashbox' described it as a "dance beat track" where Dennis is "keeping her dance roots alive". David Browne from 'Entertainment Weekly' stated that it "is worthy of "Touch Me (All Night Long)" and her whooshing club hits".
Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' commented, "It's clear by her track record this multitalented singer, producer, writer has a magic touch when it comes to putting together hits for Top 40 radio. Once again, Cathy delivers a house pleaser that's sure to pump non-stop excitement onto the airwaves." A reviewer from 'Music & Media' called it "jubilant". Mark Frith from 'Smash Hits' praised the track, giving it five out of five. He stated that Dennis "gives the vocal performance of a lifetime about her two-timing man who's on his way out of her door. A triumphant return to form and runner-up best new single."
