"So Close" is a song by British singer and songwriter Dina Carroll, released in November 1992 by A&M Records and 1st Avenue as the third single from her debut album by the same name (1993).
He noted that Carroll's "rich and appealing alto is cushioned by soft keyboard lines and warm backing harmonies.
[2] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said, "Yep, it's Christmas alright which means that disco divas such as Ms Carroll can follow up club classics like "Ain't No Man" and "Special Kind of Love" with a ballad without any loss of credibility.
"[3] A reviewer from Music Week called it "soulful",[4] and a "mature, shimmering, polished ballad on a par with some of Lisa Stansfield's finest work".
"[6] Phil Shanklin of ReviewsRevues picked it as "one of the highspots" from the album, declaring it as "a stylish ballad" with elements of Phyllis Nelson's 1985 song "Move Closer".
