Sinclair - I Want You Back (1992)


Dome’s very first R&B outing was Mike Sinclair and this track, from the 1994 album of the same name. Produced by Dwayne Burke, the track was originally released in '92 on G&Q records and the reaction was amazing; specialist radio played it to death and that catchy sample (Rick Braun's theme to Midnight Caller) made this one of the memorable tunes of '92.
His talent caught the eye of Dome records, who signed him up for a full album deal in '94. It was a great example of Brit Street Soul during that time and came very close to crossing over, with Ain't No Casanova denting the UK Top Twenty at no. 28 in September of '93.  
While Ain't No Casanova is the more famous song, I Want You Back is Sinclair at his best, a little slice of soul heaven.
