05:53 Don't You Want Me (Hooj Mix) [A]
05:07 Don't You Want Me (Fierce Mix) [B]
The Original (not related to Felix/Rollo!):
Note: Felix's track is based around a sample of the vocals from
the song "Don't You Want My Love" by the group
"Jomanda". Their version was written by Cheri
Williams, Dwayne Richardson, Derek A Jenkins and Cassio Ware, and
appears as a single as well on their album entitled "Someone To Love
Me". Felix's version samples a couple lines from that song ("Don't
you want my love? Don't you want my lovin'.") and works a whole new
dub house dance rhythm track around what was a r&b dance
number.
Written & produced by Felix (Francis Wright).
Co-produced and engineered by Rollo.
Vocals by Steele (aka Sam Brown).
