"Jerusalem" is a song by British singer and songwriter Belouis Some, released in 1986 as the fourth and final single from his debut studio album Some People.
[1] On its release as a single, Lola Borg of Smash Hits wrote, "It's smooth 'n' moody, a tinge on the pretentious side and sounds as though he's recruited David Bowie on vocals and Sooty on xylophone.
Unfortunately this strategy blows up in his face as this rather laboured song just forces home how average a vocalist our Nev really is.
"[7] John Lee of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner felt "Jerusalem" was Belouis Some's "weakest single so far" and added, "If a place in the upper echelons of pop's rather select hierarchy is what's desired, then he'll have to pull his finger out.
"[8] In a review of Some People, Voice of Youth Advocates said: "...on tracks such as the elaborate 'Jerusalem,' he seems to reveal his true affinity, a highly textured art rock".
