"'I Show You Secrets'" is a 1994 song by German Eurodance act Pharao, which consists of Indian/German singer Kyra Pharao (Claudia Banerjee) and American rapper Deon Blue (Marcus Deon Thomas). It was released as the first single from their debut album, 'Pharao' (1994), and hit success in many European countries, peaking within the top 10 in Austria, Finland, Germany and Switzerland.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Pairing of lovely Indian singer Kyra Pharao and rapper Dean Thomas sparks with chemistry. She flutters over a frenetic pop/rave groove with an angelic quality, while Thomas' guttural rhymes are a fine anchor to the track's glossy synths." Steve Baltin from 'Cash Box' said, "Utterly pretentious in its opening in a way that you cant help but love, this smash in Germany sounds like some kind of space-age L.S.D. trip through the cosmos." He added, "Going beyond techno, "I Show You Secrets" is a song that is at least interesting, and while everyone knows what that normally means, its an accurate word for this song and its not an insult. Pharaos five-song single tries something new." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' commented that the act "is already rapidly climbing the Media Control charts with an imposing housetrack with trancy overtones. This comes as no surprise really, as it easily holds its own against some of its more familiar competitors." John Kilgo from 'The Network Forty' deemed it a "superb dance number".
Chart performance
"I Show You Secrets" was successful on the charts across Europe, reaching the top 10 in Austria, Finland (number three), Germany and Switzerland. Additionally, it was a top
20 hit in Sweden, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it peaked at number 18 in September 1994. In Belgium, the single went into the top 40,
while it peaked at number 85 on the UK Singles Chart on November 6, 1994. Outside Europe, it was a huge hit in Israel, where it peaked at number five, and also reached number ten on the 'RPM' Dance/Urban chart in Canada. The act earned a gold record in Germany.
