Vincent Taylor

You, Me & He

Miss You • 1985

When the album was released in 1985, it was apparently not a great success. Vincent Taylor, who was primarily responsible for the Lovers Rock song »You, Me & He«, was on the road in the UK with various solo projects and bands, of which only a handful of singles and even fewer albums have survived. Together with singer Clauda, who is now called »Claudia« for the reissue, but otherwise seems to have left even fewer traces behind, this song, which is reminiscent of elegantly deep soul, was written about a love triangle that seems to remain unresolved.

Klar produziertes, leicht hallendes Schlagzeug, wie die restlichen Instrumente stark zurückgenommen, neben Bass, Gitarre und Keyboard tauchen anfangs vereinzelt Bläser auf. Produziert wurde die Angelegenheit von Lindel Lewis, der auf der B-Seite unter dem Namen One Man Band eine nicht minder einnehmende Dub-Version beisteuert. Der im Original schon wunderbar sacht treibende Groove wird hier noch einmal ganz anders den Elementen ausgeliefert, ein bisschen geht es unter Wasser, an anderer Stelle scheint ein Windzug durch die Sounds zu wehen. In diesen Rillen steckt viel Sonne, die sehr einfach freisetzen ist.
