"Go on Move" is a song by American solo project Reel 2 Real (Erick Morillo), featuring ragga vocals by Trinidad and Tobago rapper the Mad Stuntman (a.k.a. Mark Quashie). Originally released in 1993 by Strictly Rhythm as a single from the project's debut album, Move It! (1994), it was re-released in 1994 after the success of "I Like to Move It". "Go on Move" became a top-10 hit in Canada (6), Finland (4), Ireland (6), the Netherlands (10) and the UK. In the latter, the song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart. But on the UK Dance Singles Chart, it was an even bigger hit, peaking at number two. In the US, it peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, while it peaked at number one on the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart. Its accompanying music video was directed by Craig McCall,[1] who had previously directed the video for "I Like to Move It". "Go on Move" was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in August 1994.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media said, "Recommended by Swedish star producer Denniz Pop himself as the sole innovators of pop dance at the moment, the three live up to his endorsement again with a spirited ragga/Euro mix."[3] Andy Beevers from Music Week gave the song five out of five and named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, writing, "This single gets a belated UK release in the wake of the phenomenal "I Like to Move It". It shares the winning formula of pumping house rhythms and crowd pleasing ragga chat from The Mad Stuntman. Featuring new mixes from Erick Morillo and Jules & Skins, it is shaping up to be another smash."[4] Dele Fadele from NME commented, "Real To Real are here again with the same ingredients mixed up in a different order and you can only hope people continue to buy the old single: otherwise, double trouble."[5] Tim Jeffery from the Record Mirror Dance Update stated that "this is sure to be a chart hit".[6] Another editor, James Hamilton, described the song as a "gruff ragga 'g'wan move' shouting and 'blippily bebop' scatting drily percussive 'I Like to Move It' type bogie shuffler".[7] Emma Cochrane from Smash Hits gave it two out of five, viewing it as an "average record".[8]
