"Bring Me Your Love" is a song recorded and produced by American-based group Deee-Lite, which was released in May 1994 by Elektra Records as the second single of their third and final studio album, Dewdrops in the Garden (1994). The single was issued as a 12-inch white vinyl and sampled "The Children's Song" by Eddie Harris.
This would be the act's fifth single to top the number one position on the Billboard dance chart.[1] during the week ending August 13, 1994.[2] The B side included a remix of "Party Happening People," which peaked at number 30 in 1994.
Critical reception
[edit]Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Brace yourself for a spankin' new Deee-Lite vibe, as the quirky and cool trio reinvents itself with a flower-power rave attitude. The changes, however, are primarily cosmetic, since a familiar lyrical message of love and unity remains in place–as does a reverence for retro-funk and soul. Lady Kier has grown into quite the seductress, injecting a naughty sass into the song."[3] Richard Smith from Melody Maker felt the "disco laser explosion" in "Bring Me Your Love" "is just plain orgasmic."[4] A reviewer from Music & Media commented, "The one-time masters of weirdelica produce a lite version of their speciality. Do not be put off by the less unconventional first impression."[5] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update complimented it as "a fine comeback and an original and interesting package for DJs."[6] Ted Kessler from NME noted its "fine, squelchy, lysergic funk".[7]
