Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)

"Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" is a song by the Italian electronic music DJ and record producer Spiller with lead vocals performed by English singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

[1] Various versions of the single were later featured on the German reissue and some UK editions of Ellis-Bextor's debut solo studio album, Read My Lips (2001).

[2] In order to make the track more palatable for airplay, as the instrumental is somewhat repetitive, Positiva Records asked the English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, formerly with indie rock band Theaudience, to provide lyrics and vocals for the song.

The track has been remixed by Boris Dlugosch and Michi Lange, Todd Terry, Solar, Ramon "Ray Roc" Checo and Ernest St. Laurent.

The sounds 'Groovejet' loots are the syn-drums and ray-gun synths of disco's overripe peak and decline, when it was corny, wonderful, mass-market pop music: you can hear hints of Kelly Marie or Amii Stewart in the song, before that sweetness falls back into the dreamy groove.

"Out of Your Mind" held the midweek number one in the UK singles chart until Saturday, when "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" overtook it in sales; it was hyped by the media as a personal battle between the two artists.

[13] A live version of the track appeared as a B-side to Ellis-Bextor's single "Music Gets the Best of Me", and in 2003, "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" was re-released as part of Positiva Records 'Remixed' series.

[17] In mainland Europe, it charted within the top five in Iceland,[18] Norway,[19] and Switzerland[20] while becoming a top-ten hit in Denmark,[21] Finland,[16] Hungary,[22] Italy,[23] the Netherlands,[24] and Portugal.

Spiller meets people and signs autographs, finding his height makes life there difficult; Ellis-Bextor sings wistfully at various tables in bars.
