25 songs i can’t live without: PM Dawn - “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss”

this is one of those songs from my childhood that will never fail to make me feel good. whenever it comes on i immediately think to myself “why have i not been listening to this song on repeat all week??” smooth, perfectly bittersweet and just the right amount of hip-hop and r&b — if you put the right group of people together in a club and play this record, the cumulative feeling of nostalgia would probably be enough to power the building.

fun fact: in 1991, this was the very first song to go #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after the introduction of SoundScan…

and props to Spandau Ballet for the sample…
