About Lifted

"Lifted" is a song written by British duo Lighthouse Family, for their debut album Ocean Drive (1996). The song was produced by Mike Peden. It was released as the lead single on May 1995 and reached the top 70 in the United Kingdom. In February 1996 the song was re-released, reaching a new peak of number four in the United Kingdom and reaching the top 40 in Austria, Iceland and Ireland, as well as on the Canadian RPM Adult Contemporary chart. In 1999 "Lifted" was again re-released but with a different single cover. Billboard felt singer Tunde Baiyewu's style drew similarities to Seal; and called it a "wonderful British-soul single... With its shuffling, funk-derived beat and strumming melody." more »
