Tara Kemp — Hold You Tight

Name: Hold You Tight
Description: Produced by Jake Smith and Tuhin Roy for One Two Productions, 'Hold You Tight' hit the US top five in 1991 and became a touchstone of the new jack swing era. The Shaw & Jones remix on the B-side is the one DJs kept pulling out — darker, deeper, and built for rooms, not radio.

Hold You Tight · 1991

Label: Giant Records · Genre: R&B / New Jack Swing · Country: USA · From: New York, North America

Produced by Jake Smith and Tuhin Roy for One Two Productions, 'Hold You Tight' hit the US top five in 1991 and became a touchstone of the new jack swing era. The Shaw & Jones remix on the B-side is the one DJs kept pulling out — darker, deeper, and built for rooms, not radio.

Did you know: The line 'We're having the time of our lives' from 'Hold You Tight' became a widely sampled vocal hook in early UK hardcore and rave records — one of those American R&B vocals that crossed the Atlantic and became something else entirely.
