An update of the 1976 Bo Kirkland & Ruth Davis song "You're Gonna Get Next To Me" by Ania Garvey & John Carey which is due out on 1 Jun
2022.
I'm not sure how to fairly compare it against such an iconic tune which
reached #12 on UK pop chart which is ingrained in the consciousness of
those of a certain age. The original is a smooth and melodic floater whilst this is
more rugged with a harder, funky edge and the tempo's been upped a notch
or two. I think after you get over the initial inevitable comparison with the
original and give it a few listens this could be a dancefloor winner
Ania's last single was a collaboration with Binky Womack in January with
"Anywhere With You".
Bo Kirkland is of course Mike James Kirkland of Mike & The Censations
(with his brothers Robert and Walter) who also released a couple of solo
albums prior to his collaboration with Ruth Davis between 1976-78. They
released just one album together and a handful of singles with this one is by
far and away their biggest hit, in the UK at least as it didn't even enter
the Billboard Hot 100, believe it or not, and only reached #66 on R&B
chart. Their biggest hit stateside came earlier with "Easy Loving".
