Good 4 We

Released on the influential UK label Acid Jazz, from the unique drummer count-in on the first track Good Lover, (who counts the band in on 5?!), Good 4 We is a confident and distinctive UK soul/club album from 1992. Around half the tracks are in the classic early-90s, mid-tempo, funky drum loop, Soul II Soul style, with soft dreamy pads, smooth keys and classy piano chords behind Sarah Anne Webb’s creamy rich vocals. The other half is either songs that integrate the 4/4 house beat that was ascendant at the time into the D Influence soul sound - Good Lover remains a sophisticated UK club classic, No Illusions tapped into the rave euphoria of Italian piano house brilliantly, and Sweetest Thing upped the tempo into shimmering disco-house territory — and a pair of percolating instrumentals, the high energy jazz funk “Instantly” and abstract funk club track “The Classic.”
