"Connected" is the title track and first single from the British group Stereo MC's third studio album. Released in September 1992, the song samples "Let Me (Let Me Be Your Lover)" by Jimmy "Bo" Horne.[2]

"Connected" peaked at number eighteen on the Uk Singles Nautical chart. Internationally, it peaked inside the top x of the charts in Austria, Sweden and Switzerland, and peaked within the top twenty of the charts in Belgium, Republic of finland and the United states. The song appeared in the movie Hackers starring Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller. Rob Lowe personally chose the vocal to be the theme to his program Dr. Vegas (2004).

Production [edit]

The song uses a bassline sampled from Jimmy "Bo" Horne's song "Allow Me (Let Me Exist Your Lover)". Vocaliser Rob Birch told about how the song was made in an interview with Chaos Command: "We concluded upwardly taking the music several stages further than we had gone earlier and playing things ourselves on bass and keyboards, and getting other people in to play things like the horns."[3]

Critical reception [edit]

Larry Film from Billboard described the song as "an instantly insinuating hiphop/funk conditioning. A shuffling groove supports cool horns and a contagious chorus that is phattened by great femme vocal chants. In its current course, "Connected" is a sturdy precursor to an evening or a fine way to wind downwards into daylight."[4] In 1993, Picture commented that the runway, a "mid-tempo retro-funk matter", "has been making inroads with urban-minded DJs for several weeks now. "The song 'Connected' is virtually human being beings and the lack of connection there is between anything today," [band member Nick] Hallam says. "Information technology's most the way anybody tries to categorize everything. The manner every race is trying to divide from each other."[5]

Per Reinholdt Nielsen from Gaffa wrote that it "is a clever lesson in funk. The number is extremely simple. A great audio sampled from half a beat KC and the Sunshine Band pulls dorsum, while Owen If whips the drums forward. 3 chorus girls, rapper Rob Birch and various samples decorate the landscape, but it is the sucks of the "two rhythm groups" that lock Connected into the memory and torso of the defenseless listener."[vi] Pan-European magazine Music & Media stated that it is a "sure hit" and noted further "the new female vocalists shining over expressive rich grooves."[7] Alan Jones from Music Week said in his review of the Continued anthology, that "the introductory unmarried Connected, with its pulsing bass, and slick femme harmonies is fairly typical of the fare here, with what raps there are well-couched and friendly."[8] Victor Haseman from The Stanford Daily commented that the Stereo MC's "have made stitching their patchwork quilt of Euro-electro popular, hip-hop and house their top priority, tirelessly pushing it in new directions".[9] Nib Lamb from ThoughtCo said the song "is propelled past a tricky simply downbeat atmospheric brand of hip-hop."[10]

Chart performance [edit]

"Connected" went on becoming a major hit on the charts in several countries, remaining the group's most successful vocal to date. In Europe, information technology climbed into the pinnacle ten in Republic of austria, Sweden and Switzerland, and the tiptop 20 in Belgium, Finland and the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. In the latter, the single peaked at number 18 in its second week at the Britain Singles Chart on 27 September 1992.[11] It stayed at that position for two weeks. Additionally, "Continued" went to the meridian 30 in French republic, and on the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached the top xl, at number 36 in January 1993. Outside Europe, the song made it to number vii on the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart, number xv on the US Cash Box Popular Singles Chart, number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 24 in New Zealand and number 47 in Australia.

ThoughtCo listed the song at number 65 in their list of "The Best 100 Songs from the 1990s" list in 2018.[ten]

Employ in other media [edit]

The vocal appears in the movie, Saving Silverman. It has too been used in commercials promoting the U.s.a. Network's program Burn down Notice, and past The Carphone Warehouse.[16] "I call up performing the track in tardily 1992," singer Rob Birch told Q. "The Brixton Academy was simply around the corner from our neighbourhood in London, near where nosotros recorded the album. We were supporting the Happy Mondays for their tour in the United kingdom, and at that venue it was just amazing.

The Connected album had just been out for a while, and we thought people were but starting to become into information technology. When nosotros came on to the intro of the track, the whole audience was singing along to the tune and there was just an amazing vibe and energy. Everyone connected, basically."[17]

Music video [edit]

The accompanying music video for "Connected" was directed past Matthew Amos.[18]
