Down That Road (Shara Nelson song)

"Down That Road" is a song by British singer-songwriter Shara Nelson, released July 1993 on Cooltempo Records as the debut single from her first solo album, What Silence Knows (1993).

Neil Spencer from The Guardian felt the song was "an explicit enough farewell note to the group [Massive Attack], a mix of bitterness and relief that told her former colleagues 'I swear I never knew/just what I could do'.

"[4] Paul Moody from NME named it Single of the Week, saying, "Ah!, the sweet dove of summer has arrived and everywhere people are kissing absolute strangers in broad daylight, throwing in grey day jobs and thumbing funky lifts across a sun-swept Europe.

[6] Another RM editor, James Hamilton, declared it as a "plaintive Massive Attack girl's subtle anti-segregation message".

It definitely says 33, if definitely does, but it's lying, and once adjusted to the correct speed of 45rpm, Shara's efforts lose their exciting other-worldiness and turn into competent, slick, easy-on-the-brain-cells soul.
