5.0 out of 5 stars IS U GONNA BE ABLE TO LOVE THIS SONG???, November 30, 2001

Jessica Folker is the best new artist to hit the clubs, and her pop/dance sound is great. This song is very sweet along with Jessica's vocals and the remixes are jumping off the wall.

Track Listing:

1.) To Be Able To Love (Jonathan Peters Radio Mix) = This remix is what I would like to call the original song because I think that this remix sounds so much better than that of the original mix. This remix is dance friendly and would be off the hook in the clubs.

2.) To Be Able To Love (Jonathan Peters Club Mix) = Just incase you didn't get enough of the first Jonathan Peters remix here is an extended club mix with extra beats.

3.) To Be Able To Love (Sound Factory Dub) = This is an interesting remix because it ads a dark beat to Jessica's sweet sounding vocals and lyrics. This remix is also dance friendly in the clubs.

4.) To Be Able To Love (Original Mix) = This is the original song which is not as nearly as good as that of the first track on this single. This track sounds very pop and there are too many backup vocals, the beat is somewhat generic, and maybe a little bit too pop. I'm not saying this version of the song is bad, I'm just saying that the remixes are much better. I must say that the remixes do compensate for this version of the song.

All Jessica Folker wants is to be able to love, in hopes that you peeps will show her some love. So show some love and check out this hit that has just begun.

4.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST SINGLES OF 2001 AND 2002, January 3, 2002

This single is really great! Jessica has a beautiful, powerful voice, and, paired with Jonathan Peters's awesome beats, this song is incredible! It's got very simple and direct lyrics, which fits the song well. My favorite mix on the single is the Jonathan Peters Club Mix (Track 2). JP's rolling drums and wicked synth work perfectly complements the song. The JP radio edit (Track 1) is essentially a shorter version of the Club Mix, with a few extra vocal samples taken from the original. This single is a perfect example of why JP is one of the U.S.'s top remixers, and is a great way to introduce Jessica's awesome voice to me and the rest of America. The album version (Track 4) is a nice, smooth version. JP's Sound Factory Dub has some twisted drumbeats and a nice synth hook with a bit of middle-eastern flavor, somewhat like HQ2's remix of Amber's Yes!, but not to the same extent as the HQ2 mix. Overall, this is a great single. The only reason this only gets 4 stars and not 5 is that the single doesn't include a dub of the Club Mix and a Sound Factory Vocal. Here's hoping this song becomes a huge radio hit soon!

4.0 out of 5 stars A wailing, hands-in-the-air anthem!!!, June 6, 2002

What an awesome, uplifting song. The first time I heard this tune, I instantly fell in love. And the first time I heard it at a club, it was a circuit explosion: smiles, hands-in-the-air... off the hook! I'm normally not big on bubble-gum anthems, but this is a good one.
