You know you "gotta to have it"!!

"Well I've got to have it" - it could be the opening line to many a sentence. This track for instance, as once you've heard it you'll certainly need to "have it".
This one is an absolute top notcher, very, very mellow and very balearic in style, but a track I absolutely love.
I first heard it when the Luvdup Twins played at Vague in 1993 and have loved it ever since, they mixed it into Outrage - Tall and Handsome - which then ensued to "blow the roof off"!!
After searching for it for years, a big shout goes out to Dirk for tracking it down for me, nice one fella!
Vanessa Paradis in a music sense is probably better known for "Joe Le Taxi" and of course is even better known as an uber famous model, actress and of course wife of Johnny Depp.
The track is very laid back very infectious, with some lovely vocals and some very catchy lyrics.
It's about her relationship at the time (1992) with Lenny Kravitz, if you hadn't guessed.
"But I gotta have it, watching for the damage, from New York straight to Paris, I'm talking Lenny Kravitz"
You know you "gotta to have it"!!
Enjoy!!

not a track I think i've ever heard before, and can't say I love it. However, have sampled 'From New York straight to Paris' from it as went to New York on honeymoon, and it's our first wedding anniversary next weekend - in Paris, so perfect for an anniversary mix. Thanks very much!!
