Oval Emotion - Reach Out (1993)

Though the face of Oval Emotion was vocalist / songwriter Cissy Goodridge and musician / songwriter /co-producer Kenny Moran, most of the group's sound owes a lot to the production of Nick Fiorucci. The Canadian house producer was a huge presence in the late 80's house scene, contributing to many house songs that would become worldwide dance hits and founding successful dance label Hi-Bias records. He would later find greater Canadian success as half of pop-house duo Temperance, and it appears he honed his craft for that act in his work with this one. Oval Emotion were also a pop-house duo with soul. They had dance hits both in Canada and internationally with their first couple of singles "Do It" and "Go Go". They released this album a couple of years later and had a further hit with the title track, which even made a dent in the Canadian pop charts. But a small dent is all they made, and they only managed to put out a few more singles to lesser success: "Don't Make Me Wait" from the album, and two new songs - "Higher And Higher" in 1996 and "Do You Have Another One" in 1997. Fiorucci and Moran continue to produce, and Cissy was briefly a part of acappella trio Wayward Sister, but now focuses on her job as head of Music and Performing Arts at various Canadian schools.
