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.

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!

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.

Ladies and Gentleman Jessica Fokler has arrived! The hottest new talent to hit the airwaves in a long time has one of the most engaging voices in music today. Powerful, Soulful, and Energetic she is truly going to be a star. To Be Able to Love is a killer dance track with pulsating beats, a catchy chorus, and amazing vocals. Take one listen and it will be stuck in your cd player for the rest of the year. It is by far the best song to hit the airwaves since the millenium started. Included are 3 remixes and the original album version. All versions are fantastic and must be played at full volume every time you play it. What an amzing new artist who hopefully will be the Biggest Dance Music Diva since Donna Summer. Do Not ignore this incredible new talent. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

This won't be a flash in the pan. Jessica Folker's voice and style are all her own, and are consistently good throughout her music. If she can keep her unique quality as she markets beyond the Euro-Asian audiences who have already enjoyed her work, we are all in for so much more quality music.

There are many "Jessicas" in popular music today-- only one Jessica Folker!

Where do I start? What a powerful song by a woman with an even more powerful voice! Jessica Folker wins my heart over with her song "To Be Able To Love" every single time I hear it! Dance music fans will not be disappointed with this CD! It's all you could ever want and more! The beat is catchy and the song is just as addictive as Da Buzz's smash hit "Let Me Love You"! If you can't get enough of dance music to keep you on your feet, this is definatly a must have!

There's been a major shortage of fun, upbeat vocal dance songs this summer. I like dark and dubby tracks as much as the next person, but if you're like me you're ready for something brighter with more energy. Well, "To Be Able To Love" won't disappoint. It's catchy from beginning to end, and the chorus hits a home run - you'll be singing right along by the end. Jessica's vocals are strong and clear; think Samantha Mumba with a bit more range. I'm not a huge fan of Jonathan Peters, but his fast, bouncy production style suits this song perfectly, and his extended club mix, at 8:08, leaves you wanting more. The Sound Factory dub goes overboard, although fans of Darude might get it. And if you opt for the CD single, you'll also get the original (midtempo) version of the song. It's nice enough, but having heard the dance mixes first I found the original to lag. If this song makes it at radio - and it definitely should - it will be on the strength of the dance version. Fans of Amber and Cher will definitely enjoy this.
