"Real, Real, Real" comes off Doubt, the 1991 second album from UK band Jesus Jones, and it's Mike Edwards' song from top to bottom: he wrote it and produced it, with Ian Curnow and Phil Harding adding extra production, Clive Goddard engineering and John Fryer mixing, for Food Records and EMI. It's alternative dance with the caffeine turned up, all forward rush and bright, wired hooks.
It peaked at 19 on the UK singles chart, but America went further for it: in 1991 it climbed to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, the band's second top-10 hit there.
