"'Love City Groove'" is a song by British rap group Love City Groove, that represented the at the Eurovision Song Contest 1995.
Critical reception
John Bush from AllMusic deemed "Love City Groove" "an upbeat pop/reggae track". Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described it as a "fun" and "infectious hybrid of reggae, pop, and hip-hop styles". Music writer James Masterton noted in his weekly UK chart commentary, that the song, being in "a soul/dance vein", "certainly [is] one of the most credible records to be a British Eurovision entry for years." Tim Jeffery from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update wrote, "A very pleasant mid-tempo groove with great vocals and a bit of rapping that swings along beautifully in quite old-fashioned jazz funk way and it really gets on your brain. Only trouble is it's a real summer tune released at the right time this could be another Zhane."
