You Are the Universe

"You Are the Universe" is a song by British acid jazz and funk group the Brand New Heavies, released in June 1997.

British magazine Music Week rated the song four out of five, writing, "Their sound is as retro as ever, but this funky soul tune is hugely uplifting and deserves to be a big pop, as well as club, hit.

The remixers have a job competing with the huge uplift value of the album version (which is on a par with the original of Nu Yorican Soul's 'It's Alright')".

"You Are the Universe" was covered by Rob Derbyshire and Paul Mullings, the Birmingham's R&B production duo better known as Full Flava.

The song was included on the Flava's album Music Is Our Way Of Life, which reconstructed eleven dancefloor classics performed by various female vocalists, released on Dôme Records the following year, in 2007.
