"Closer than Close" is a song by American musician Rosie Gaines, a former singer in Prince's band the New Power Generation.

Thus started a two-year mission by Glaswegian house and garage indie Big Bang Records to release the track properly in 1997.

After her solo debut in 1985, recording/performing with The Curtis Ohlson Band from 1987 to 1989 and doing other projects, singer Rosie Gaines joined Prince & The New Power Generation.

Two years later, a remix of the title track from the album was released as a single by Big Bang Records, after it had appeared on bootlegs.

"[6] Scottish newspaper Daily Record called the 1997 remix a "forgettable funk song from former Prince sidekick Rosie, who is now setting out to become a star in her own right.

"[7] James Hyman from Music Week's RM rated it four out of five, describing it as a "bumpy house track that's already received endless radio play, especially on Kiss.
