First things first, here's the track listing: 1. Thunderpuss Original Radio Edit 3:51 2. Cubanito's Breakbeat Radio Edit 3:28 3. Thunderpuss Club Mix 8:58 4. Lectroluv Mix 7:54 5. Thunderpuss Tribe-a-pella 6:50 6. Thunderpuss Remix Dub 7:00 7. Cubanito's Breakbeat Remix 6:04 8. Cubanito's Electro Mixshow Edit 5:02 This single is a must have if you like catchy, lyrical dance music. Jocelyn has grown vocally from her previous CD and I was pleasantly surprised at how mature her voice is becoming. Obviously working with Amber and Ultra Nate on "If You Could Read My Mind" really rubbed off on her. This song at first listening sounds like a mixture of the melodic structure of Amber's "Above the Clouds" with the lyrical sensuality of "Sexual (Li Da Di)." "This physical attraction just won't go away. I fight this feeling, but it gets stronger every day. When I get close to you, I feel like making love. When I get close to you, I feel like playing rough." The Thunderpuss remix fills the song with roaring synth lines that really bring out Jocelyn's voice. It also has touches of Latin drum rhythms added to it which really give the club mix a nice kick. The radio edit, club mix, and the dub all will get you moving. They are all very well crafted and lift her music to a new level. GREAT! The Cubanito mixes sound more latin freestyle-influenced with a Cher's "Believe" vocal mutation that really gives it a nice touch. They remind me of her previous song style on "Do You Miss Me." The Lectroluv mix is great as well. It has arrangement stylings that remind me of a Hex Hector remix. It adds little touches of synthesizer and drums that make it stand out from the other mixes, while staying in the true dance style of the song. Jocelyn is growing into a great artist whose audience should expand beyond the dance world. This song might just break her more into mainstream radio. Once you hear the chorus, it sticks in your head and won't let go. Very much worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great dance song with the help of Thunderpuss..., January 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: When I Get Close to You (Audio CD)

This is another great song by dance diva Jocelyn Enriquez and Thunderpuss has once again created another dance club classic. I am very impressed with these two producers/remixers (Chris Cox & Barry Harris) and I hope that they will continue to "create" for years to come. The lyrics to this song are simple and really "catchy." You will be hooked in a second... There are a total of 8 tracks to listen to and decide which one best suits your taste. The track listing is as follows: 1 - When I get close to you (Thunderpuss Original Radio Edit) 2 - When I get close to you (Cubanito's Breakbeat Radio Edit) 3 - When I get close to you (Thunderpuss Club Remix) 4 - When I get close to you (Lectroluv Mix) 5 - When I get close to you (Thunderpuss Tribe-A-Pella) 6 - When I get close to you (Thunderpuss Remix Dub) 7 - When I get close to you (Cubanito's Breakbeat Remix) 8 - When I get close to you (Cubanito's Electro Mixshow Edit) This is a great buy for all dance/Thunderpuss fans. You won't be dissappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit by Jocelyn Enriquez, June 8, 2000

This review is from: When I Get Close to You (Audio CD)

"When I get close to you" is a great song. This cd is worth buying if your a fan of Jocelyn Enriquez or dance music in general. Jocelyn's vocals are amazing and the music fits perfectly. Once you hear this song you won't be able to get it off your mind. With songs like this it won't be long before Jocelyn hits mainstream and takes over the industry.
