"'You'" is a 1995 single by British house music studio project Staxx, assembled by producers Simon Thorne and Tom Jones, and featuring British singer Carol Leeming. This was their second number one on the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart (after 1994's "Joy"), reaching the top spot on July 1, 1995.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1995-07-01/dance-club-play-songs Hot Dance Club Songs, Billboard.com, issue date July 1, 1995] The single peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote that the dance act "that brought "Joy" to many a punter over a year ago is back with a peppy Euro-disco mover that soars above the current throng of NRGetic wannabes on the strength of Carol Leeming's forceful vocal. She injects sass and bounce to a simple pop hook, while also anchoring the track's frothy mlange of sugary synths and loops." Andy Beevers from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update said, "This belated follow-up to 'Joy' is another big and confident song backed by an impressive array of remixes that provides justification for the doublepack." He added, "The top of the Club Chart beckons." Another editor, James Hamilton described it as a "Carol Leeming hollered happy M People-ish devotional pure gospel galloper". Debby Peterson from 'The Network Forty' deemed it a "great dance record".
