I Ain’t Movin’ by Des'ree
I Ain’t Movin’ is an album by Des'ree, released in 1994. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “You Gotta Be”, on 3 lists with a best position of #334.
I Ain't Movin', Des'ree's second album, came out through Epic and 550 Music in May 1994 in Britain and that July in America, the follow-up to Mind Adventures. It's soul music built on that deep contralto of hers, a voice that sounds planted rather than pushy, and on lyrics that reach for uplift instead of heartbreak.
"You Gotta Be" is the song everybody knows, a top-5 smash that carries the whole record's sunny resolve in one easy groove. Supernatural came next, and before the decade was out she'd be named Best British Female at the 1999 Brit Awards.
